You all know the scenario: your truck is the same as hundreds around town and you want your truck to stand out in the crowd. Reflexxion Automotive has you covered. They offer a wide variety of custom steel hoods that look awesome and fit just as well. We found a donor truck and recruited the guys at Godfather Customs, in Decatur, Georgia, to help this '04 Chevy Silverado stand out from the rest. Let's take a look as the crew from Godfather Customs installed this steel cowl ram-air hood from Reflexxion Automotive.
