Ross Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I want the new style ss hood on my 2003.... Is it a direct replacement? Can I use my grille or do I need the new style one also? Maybe dumb questions but I'm sure other have done this. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 grille and hood is all you need for the swap... Hood, grills and grill shell, and inserts to go between the headlight and directional/drl assemblies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

air force vm Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 How come you want to change out your hood? I think that the 06 hood looks much better and makes the truck more arressive. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 cause id like to put a cowl hood on and there arent any i think look good for the 06-07 trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
air force vm Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Cool, that would looks good then. I know that I like our 06 hood better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 stock for stock i think the hd hood is most definately nicer looking but a cowl or ram air hood is better yet imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdioSS Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) it won't work... there's no way to do it... you'd be crazy to try... um, yeah, nobody has ever done it before... especially nobody posting in this thread... Did I mention that it will look stupid? Edited October 29, 2007 by AdioSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mention that it will look stupid? The only difference in the front end from '05 to '06 was the hood and grill shell itself, everything else stayed the same......if you look at my first post I stated every part you will need to convert to an '06 hood. As long as you change the grill shell along with the hood it should fit. Oh and yes an '06 hood with the '05 grill does look pretty stupid.

I've NEVER tried putting an 06 grille on with my stock orange 05 hood and noticed that the hood hits the grille. And then I did NOT swap my 05 grille back on and put a black 06 hood on. It's not like there are any clearance issues.... Because that would look stupid and nobody would complement the look. And I would never, ever click on the underlined parts of my previous post... Or would I? MAYBE I took several measurements between 05 and 06 model trucks to see if there were any differences, and then MAYBE I DID put an 06 hood on my 05 truck...

AdioSS Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 It looks like the second truck in the picture at the top of each forum page has done the 06-07 hood + 03-05 grille also. However, it could possibly just have a bug deflector on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
