Blackout Hood Install Complete

[werrea]

Contacted Trevor from Crawlorado based on a recommendation from a fellow MUD member. Ordered Thursday and received today. Install was a breeze. I am really pleased with the product and will serve my purpose very well.

Now if the lights will just arrive for the rack and the tent.

Looks good, but what exactly is the product? A matte black hood decal, a whole replacement hood that's been painted, or?

 

[werrea]

I should have clarified. It's a 3M Vinyl decal.

In all fairness, it was 95% apparent it wasn't a full replacement hood, but the "install" term threw me.
Again, looks

What exactly is the intended purpose?

Cuts down on glare and looks super expolicious.

You putting lights up top or something? Just curious as I've never noticed any glare from my hood.

Yes. Putting light up on the rack. Looks naked.

Gotcha.

What was the price tag???? Where did you get it??? Because I have there lights on my roof rack and the bounce back glare is a killer in the snow.

I paid $80. Well worth it in my opinion.

Hello werrea
Thanks for the component on the cruiser but, she is no more. She is going in for a sex change. She will lose the 2F engine forever and get a 5.3 Vortec mated to a NV 4500. 10 days and counting !!!!! What kind of gas mileage are getting on yours?? And on the color of the black out....... Is the black a gross, semi-gross or flat black. Reason being the cruiser is going to the painters next week. Thanks Ander42b.

Most are flat black. The point is to reduce glare. I would think a gloss finish would reflect much more than a flat finish.

The vinyl is a flat black. With the 5 speed, I'm getting around 17-19 around town. If I keep my foot out of it. I don't do a lot of highway driving so I'm not sure really. With a tent on there I'm sure I'll take a hit. But's the power and being able to go up hills.

Yeah but how does the gross black do? ;p

He just started doing them. Call and speak to Trevor. I am the first one to put it on a 60.

Defeats the purpose of having a flat non reflective surface.
