So my wife gave me an option, LSD or sport Hood; I'm stuck. I just tuned the truck and added pedal Commander, got a Vararam...Need some opinions

Sport Hood. Then put some lights in the vents. That's what all the cool guys do.

So price for LSD, from Moe's, plus $325 install versus sport hood, find one or new and paint to match- I think the LSD is cheaper and something I can feel but that hood, I really like those hoods

Go with the LSD, as nice as a hood is, you might as well add an expensive decal to your rig. The LSD will actually do something.....

Unless you are planning on some sort of ram air and fully functional scoops.

You'd seldom, if ever, notice the lsd, but you'll see the hood every dammm time you look at the cool truck with the fancy hood. Haha

The hood is cosmetic. The lsd is functional.

Do you car more about how you look, or more about what you're capable of doing?

LSD no question. If I could have bought my same model Sport w/o the hood I'd have jumped on it. Not a huge fan of the boy racer, non functioning, I can't see the front end, hood.

Get the sport hood NOW.

AND

In the WINTER drive with your wife and show her that w/o LSD it is NOT SAFE and that you HAVE to get one (especially if you have kids etc...). Remember it is for SAFETY reasons.
