Post by: onecustom73 on June 23, 2008, 08:16:54 pm

Just curious wich of you that have installed cowl hood on your truck was the choice brand,alot of diffrent hood companies out there and ive heard some dont line up that well and other you can pretty much bolt on and go,not sure weather to go with fiberglass or steel,if i go with steel i know i dont have to change my hood springs but just curious what make or who i should buy from,thanks guys!

All of the good steel ones are made by Tri-plus.  The pretty much stamp all of the ones for Reflexion (last I checked) and Goodmark, along with their own...

The Reflexxion hoods in my opinon are the best. Fiberglass is garbage.

DO NOT get an AEM or FBI hood! I have an FBI hood on my 01 and it fits like crap.


I'm still trying to find a 6" metal dominator cowl to weld into my stock hood.

Do all of the steel cowl hoods  still maintain the structural webbing like the stock hood? I'd love a cowl, but I would want to make it functional with a sealed underhood air box. Kinda hard to do with the webbing. I've figured a plausible way of dealing with it but it would just be a lot more work.
