Makes me want to cut open the hood of the silverado but I'm too scared to do it. lol Speaking of that it should be here tomorrow hopefully in one piece.

If I were you I wouldnt, the way newbright makes the windsheild part of the hood would make that tough to pull off...and cutting up something Hoosierdaddy does is like slapping spinners on a ferrari! Lol, I should be jealous of you - that silverado is BEAST!

[fr8cture]

Well the lower part of the windshield (the windshield wiper area is now part of the body and could be possible but if I did it I would probably send it his way and have him make the tail gate open while he was at it.

Bumping this since I'll be doing my Pajero soon.


What did you do to cut the mounts for the fog lights out of the grille? The two slots are easy to fix, but the mounts I'm not sure about.

I cut the whole mount section of that bar of the grill making an identical slot to what's already there just a bar lower and close to the center. Then you just run some thread to cut it from the other grill bars it touches, then I just cleaned everything up with my exacto - I hope that helps!

Perfect, thank you

Man I wish I had the extra funds for this beauty. I love the hood and hatch struts, I need to work on making a few of those for the builds I'm working on.
