HD Hoods

[UWMlax15]

I've seen a lot of talk about the HD hood upgrade, is there any more to the swap than just replacing the hood?

It's a direct swap on the 99-02 Silverados, 00-06 Suburbans and Tahoes. No other mods needed unless you plan on using it on a GMC version, in which case you'll have to trim the front edge of the hood to fit the contours of the headlights.

so on mine it would take some trimming off the fat

Thanks, it's another great mod that I can dream about as if i needed any more.

Yup, because our headlights are different.

Modding/upgrading vehicles can get addictive. My career and main hobby are all about modding cars, and every car I've owned has been put through its paces. When I bought the Tahoe, I told my wife I would keep it stock since I have my other toys and this would be just a family trip vehicle. Uh...yeah. About 3 years and a few thousand dollars later, now it doesn't even look like the same truck.
You already started. Might as well keep going til you can't anymore
Welcome to the site, BTW

Yeah I feel the same way, i can never leave a car all stock you just have to add your own style to it. I have had the yukon since Feb. and think i have done pretty good so far. Next is a even more custom intake and the LED tail lights cause all i have now are LED Bulbs it just isnt the look I was going for....

doesnt yours already have the HD hood since its a 2500?

I forgot who it is with a blue yukon, but he just put on some really sweet led tails that look kinda like the ones on the nbs. Probably the ones I would get when I go that route.

 

[UWMlax15]

haha, i didnt even see him on this post, tast101 has the lights i was talking about, my bad

 

[road1will]

yea tast101s tailgihts are awesome. i want them.

If I'm not mistaken, the same hood used on the GMC non-HD models were the same ones on the GMC HD model versions. Only the Chevy models used different hoods.

Damn this is one mod I would love to do, about how much would the hood alone cost?
Maybe i'll get lucky and find a rearended HD and get the hood for a great price. Then i'll just have to get it painted.

I'm going to the ecology auto this weekend to look for one.

 

[road1will]

ive i ever find one in silver birch, id do it. but i think hte cost of buying one and having it painted would be too much for my better half to agree to
