Is there any way to tell that the hood vent is sealing on the box and no hot air getting in?

Lol, I have always been considering this same kit but always wondered if anyone tested how well it seals.

Anyway, it turned out nice, exhaust too

Somebody call mod rehab... We have an addiction intervention here. Cure for it is put these mods on my truck or just get me a tonneau cover for it.

Jeremy at Retroshop is a real professional and super nice guy. Definitely recommend him. I’ve had 3 other vendors retrofit headlights for me in the past and he is by far the best I’ve ever dealt with and is great with answering any questions you may have. Very prompt replies and he’s patient.

I’ve been thinking about the Borla myself in black, but the s type. I’m afraid the touring won’t be loud enough, but I also don’t want too loud.

They weren’t close to 2k.

-I purchased the extra set of OEM lights ($850)
-Did the blackout paint option
- diode dynamics white/amber led switchbacks

And that was it. The most expensive part were the headlights themselves. If I had opted to send mine in it would have been under $1k.
