    Check this out Deck Plate Mod. I used
    $16 Tempress 43035 4" Screw Out Deck Plates - Black
    this , you can see the lid is what screws into the hole.

    BTW - You don't sound stupid, thanks for checking out my build.

    Dude sweet build. You have inspired me to take dupli-color liner to all sorts of areas on my ride. Really like how you have kept it clean looking and noise free. Are you gonna go modest on the lift, or all out?

    Well, definitely wanting to replace the 2.5" spacer lift up front. It's got 1.5" shackles in the back. There's a ton of options just trying to find a good functional/price range that's good for me. Thanks.

    As far as sound it's more aggressive sounding. The HP #'s seem positive across the board with other members doing the same mod.

    Just pop the hood from the inside, then lift it up a bit and stick a finger/hand and lower the release lever from between the hood and grille.

    265-75-16, FYI I just did my first oil change with the Fumoto Drain plug and it was money. Just moved the lever to open and it was a steady stream enough to fall right onto the pan without splattering every where. I though about attaching a hose but not needed.
