I've been wanting a cowl hood for my truck for awhile now. I haven't been able to find one that I liked, most of them are not tall enough or they don't come on a HD hood. So, one day I remember I have this old 4" cowl laying around and figure what the hell, I'll try it out. Here is a few pics of it rivited on, I will of coarse use some body filler to smooth it all out and paint to match. This is just to see what it looks like and if I like it. Whatcha all think?

Is it cut underneath to let it do its work?

I think the finished product will be nice it isn't overly big, my dad has a 08 gmc 2500hd with a aftermarket hood and it gives tons of blind spots

No, it's all cosmetic. Lol. I'm still not sure if I like it, there really isn't much of a blind spot. As far as the 500 shot, c'mon man that's supposed to be a secret...lol:cheers

I like it as it is mounted. I'd paint it to match... but leave the rivets / or even go to small machine bolts and nuts with lock washers. Give's it a more badassedness look.

If you paint a rebel flag on it you might make it a little less redneck.

I would have put it on with some 3M double sided tape before I pulled out the drill and rivet gun.

Perhaps it needs some add on black fender flares with the "rivet" fastened theme to complete the look. The scoop by itself doesn't seem to tie in with anything else on the truck as it is now.

I have some epoxy to put underneath it for the final mount, I just threw it on to see how it looked and if I liked it. I think once it's done and painted to match the rest of the truck it'll look alot better.....hopefully...lol

I have seen some crazy things before. In that picture, I couldn't tell if it was cut.

It looks horrible compared to the fence. I like it, but it needs to be painted to match.
