You're bettor off gettring it off of ebay ... the ones I've seen usually come with the grille inserts and lower bumper insert. You'd only have to get the foam and maybe the brackets.

I doubt it. That link looks like just the cover itself. Keep in mind thats an Aftermarket or Reman cover, not OE. It may have some flaws and / or not fit perfect.

If I go oe, I'll most likely be paying a premium, correct? Perhaps I can go through one of those oem part sites and just pick up everything I need. Anyone suggest any good ones for gm stuff?

You can always try some junk yards, even though the Hybrids are hard to find. Personally Id rather have a used OE cover than an aftermarket.

This one claims to be oem, looks like i need the grille and brackets, inserts, and hood of course.

Anyone have any other suggestions for a place to get hoods other than a junk yard?

Much appreciated

Again, hood is going to be tough, I'm pretty sure its Aluminum on the Hybrids, I know the liftgate is, which makes aftermarket that much more difficult. You may need to buy from a dealer. Where are you located?

Yeah as soulsea has done it in reverse, he's confirmed it is aluminum.

I live in Los angeles. I may have to call up a dealer and see what that hood runs.

Just for the record, I did a lot of the research but I never actually pulled the trigger cause I ended up trading her. But yes the hood is aluminum.

here is my street scene bumper cover. I installed PPV brake ducts so the big vents are functional. Also took an S10 front plate bracket and trimmed it with Dremel and attached it to Street Scene grille since MO is front plate state,

This is a possibility for me... It would be less expensive especially since I could still use a tahoe hood rather than the hybrid hood I would have to get for the hybrid bumper.

How's the fit with the street scene bumper?

I like the SS cover. My one gripe with it is since it mounts over the factory cover, its not flush with the fenders on the sides. Aggressive look for sure though.
