Installation
Taking the factory inner fenders out means the hood hinges have to be relocated, which is the job this kit is built for.
The hood mounting plates weld on and come with pressed-in lock nuts, so the hood bolts back on without fishing for nuts behind the panel. Mounting hardware is included.

Do I have to weld?

What is in the kit?

How long before it ships?

What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The part needs to come back new, uninstalled and in its original packaging - once a part has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Return shipping is at your cost, and we ask that returns come by Canada Post. Made-to-order, sale and clearance items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
