    Yep they will cover it... Just open it in front of fedex guy and make sure there is no damage and if there is do not accept it

    Edit
    ... I'll also add youd be a dick if you just opened it and saw damage and told them to take it back... if there is damage offer to help them get it back to the truck.

    Yes I bought it on ebay. Here is a quick communication tip Kyson. Instead of SAYING "Wanna share the link" you might try ASKING "Can you share the link?" or maybe even "Do you want to share a link?" small variation, but in my eyes your "wanna share a link" comment almost made me not "wanna" I know you probably don't care, and if thats the case thats fine too.


    Here you go:

    I did my fenders at the same time along with the flares, bumper, grille, and hood. I have a buddy at the shop I work for, he charged me $350

    My guess is at a quality shop without a connection it's going to be around $600-800 for the hood and bumper to be painted.

    350 is a fucking steal. I
    think to do just the hood, bumper and grille it would run around a grand.

    Has anyone else had issues with getting the hood to close after the conversion? I'm wondering if its just a matter of shifting the hood latch around to get the perfect fitment. One side of my new hood seems to close a bit tighter than the other side, resulting in a slight gap on the driver side between the hood and grille. It's not terrible, but it's not right either.

    I noticed the link you attached is for a 2wd hood. I am assuming 2wd-4wd is the same?

    If I want to keep the original hood latch, do I still need the hood latch support piece'?

    Are all of the parts aftermarket? That could be it.

    I didn't know they were adjustable. I'll take a look. That might solve the problem!

    It is still necessary. The hood latch support piece also has a part that connects and supports other parts you will be changing. It is necessary for everything to fit together correctly.

    No, everything is OEM.

    Yeah I was happy with that price haha paint work is definitely the biggest part of the cost if you have to pay somebody else. I believe there's some websites where you can get pre painted parts is you don't want to pay a shop.

    Actually that's the same bumper insert i'm planning on buying for my converted 07. Shouldn't be any issues installing it, 2005-2015 are the same truck underneath the bumpers.
