Hey,
I wanted to see what you guys think, I got rid of the hood handles. Then I did not like the piece of plastic on the hood, so i ordered off E-Bay this 23 pound piece of aircraft grade alluminum Stinger hood insert. Not one of those cheap covers. This replaces the plastic. I am very pleased with the fit and look. It did require drilling into the hood. Here are pics.

Looks nice, Is the hood hard to open now with the extra weight?

Very nice!, chrome mirrors and door handles you're all set.

LOL, I could see where you would think that, but no it opens fine. I didnt like my hood handles,and when I took them off I had big drill holes, so i decided on a replacement hood insert.

Yea that would look cool. I think I have enough chrome now. My locking gas cap is black, and I am going to put on a black brush guard.

At one time I thought i wanted the chrome door handles and mirrors, but I have enough.

nice

Strike a pose!!!!

Ok one last angle when I got home.

H23 - Looks solid. Do they make it without the handles?

S.

They are not really handles they are braces for the vent pieces, and they are fairly low. I didnt want handles because they do not really add any function. I figured with this I am replacing a plastic part with alliuminum.
