Now I need to find something to cover my nice hood decoration:

OUCH!!!! What happened????

WILDFIRE · « **Reply #2 on:** February 09, 2008, 10:10:00 PM »

oh no, I'm so sorry to see that Peggy, surely the cops will see it as a justifiable homicide though

The decals look cool. Very funny............ Say...what the hell was that? That sucks. No jury to who ever keyed it. So.........new Goodmark hood in the way?....cuz no touch up paint will do the trick on that scratch.

Justifiable homicide is right! If only I knew who did it. The mark goes all the way to the metal about a foot across the center of the nose of the hood. It continues on to the side in kind of a hit & miss pattern, but those are not all the way to the metal. Happened either Saturday night/Sunday morning the weekend before Fire & Ice. Someone decided to get creative either at the movie theater Sat, or in front of the house during the night

I'm debating on putting in an insurance claim, since the hood has to be repainted (not cheap!!), but since my rates just went down I hate to disrupt that. We'll see....

Goodmark hood?? Hmmmmm....

I think for my goodmark (GM approved) i paid $350. The fiberglass ones like Jeff's are very expensive. 'round $700.

Dang there's some nice hoods there. Thanks. I'll need to start researching now - not a lot of choices for the cladded. Most of those seem to be for WBH. (I like the batwing hood, but it's not for Av's

)

Right back atcha girlie!!!

MoAv · « **Reply #11 on:** February 10, 2008, 09:00:09 AM »

I posted a WTB ad on Cafcna before I read this JR - which kind of hoods are available for that price? Any of the Goodmark hoods, or just certain ones? I'd be interested in this...

MoAv · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2008, 09:01:47 AM »

I'll have to put one of those on Paul's side of the Av!!! Good one JR!

justJR · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2008, 06:28:45 AM »

I looked into the 4" cowl. I can check on prices and availability of others for you.

MoAv · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2008, 11:16:09 AM »

Thanks JR. I particularly interested in the double scoop type - it will be at least a month before I can do anything so take your time! Gotta pay taxes first

Copy cat

MoAv · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2008, 12:24:22 PM »

And just where do you think I got the idea Jeff?

I figured you wouldn't mind a little copy catting....

tdybr27 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2008, 01:31:02 PM »

do a double copycat and paint the middle of the hood black.

Jr, are you sure you have the right decal? Seems out of place on YOUR truck.

I got in on group buy when they first made them, I think it was $300

The Goodmark cowl or ramair steel hoods are GM approved, identical underside. Downside is it would take some fabrication as their are no kits I know of. Some of the fiberglass hoods you can connect right up to your air intake. The fiberglass isn't as sturdy of a hood and costs more.

Yes, I'm in contact with Tribal Av now - working on what color to use. This Sport Red is turning out to be a hard color to find something that will "ghost" flame.

I think I'd just as soon stick with the steel hood - mainly for less problems down the line. I was going to put a CAI on, but decided to wait till I get the hood. What I want may end up not working with the hood, so I figured it's easier to change the type of CAI than modify a hood!!
