About a week before LFest a Cervini's cowl hood was posted for trade on the local lightning board. The gentleman only asked for a stock hood. I jumped on the offer, but my truck is white, and his was red, so the search was on. Ray (LGHTSPD) hooked me up with a mint 94 red hood (exact same as what I needed) for a mere 50 bones. Thats right. I now had the means to get a Cervini's hood for $50. He also had a sweet smooth steel bumper w/ billet insert sitting outside of his trailer and gave me a GREAT deal on both the hood and bumper. I got back home, and decided I needed a billet grill to match the bumper. So I ordered a Carriage Works billet insert that you cut your stock shell for. Now all I needed was to paint it all to match. I have some pics as my L sits right now, the grill is just sitting there, and I still have to make some small adjustments on the hood and bumper, but imo, my truck looks badazz now, almost perfect for me. Oh I also threw a bedrug in but no pics of that right now.

Stock red hood - $50 (traded for Cervini's cowl hood)
Smooth steel bumper w/ billet insert - $50
Carriage Works grill - $122
Bedrug - $200
Paint for hood, grill shell, bumper, and lower valence - $350
----------------------
Total - $772

Having a badazz new look for a fraction of what it should have cost - Priceless

Do I see the makings of a run on the "Wild Gen 1" trophy at Lightning Fest 2007? Looks good Chris. Move the bumper up as far as you can to get rid of some of that space. I really like the bumper cut out and the billit grill. Now you need a nice big intercooler behind that bumper! lol:d

Yeah like I said Fred it still needs some adjustments made, I just got giddy and had to take pics. I have a paint scheme in mind, but I think for now I'm going to concentrate on a little more go fast parts. Maybe. We'll see how that works out.

Haha, Terry needs to chime in seeing his old truck go from bone stock to 'hacked up' (slammed, body, etc)

Have you put that c&l inlet on yet? I don't think I'm doing anything this weekend, maybe I can stop by, BS a bit, and install that, even though it will only take like 10 mins haha
