This is BC Bronco's hood. Fit is excellent. Straightness is a whole nother story. The company who makes the hood is really messing up its quality when they add the under hood braces down the sides. Ken75 ranger has the same hood but without the braces and it took me some sanding to get mine to look as good as his. HE is NOT a bodyman so you take it from there ;D Overall quality was good, lots of gel coat, nice and square ( fits bewtween the fenders well ).

Thanks for the thread.
Don't know. I kinda like that new GT from Wildhorses. Highlander is cool too.
Keep flip flopping on the Pro Flow. Looks fresh, but maybe too Nascar on a Bronco.

Be careful. If you keep flip flopping you are gonna have to run for president

I can NOT fold my hood down. But I don't really have a need to. The hood will stand straight up though against the windshield.

Here's mine, it's a Pro-Flow from Wild Horses. I had to reenforce it because you can't cruise on Southern California freeways below 80. Anyway it would bubble up so I glassed in some aluminum tubing. It's all good now. Here's a picture of the hood.

cutting the back of proflow hood will eliminate lifting & aid on getting all that heat out of the engine compartment, I seen lots of different hoods & think the proflow hoods is definately at the tops, the construction is second to none & when open to allow airflow water just get's on the fire wall lip & not all over the engine

I have the same hood as 2Bad but an older model.. The quality and thickness of the 'glass is very good for a chopper gun. Qualty of the gelcoat is average. If your looking for a mirror surface plan on a few hours work. It's very strong. I have sat on it and I'm about 260lbs.

hey Ken, you couldn't sit on mine, you would SLIDE OFF ;D. Yep, I spent a few hours sanding ;D

Thanks guys. So the Highlander is the same as BC BRONCOS "Deluxe Fiberglass Hood" on their website and the same one you both have?

It looks like it has the rear vents, yes? It's in the lead so far.

 

[2badrotties]

Yes it has the vents but they are not cut out. There is plenty of material to cut them and it would look just like a factory hood. Like I said before , the hood is very good quality but just a little messed up because of the braces they put underneath. I'm a little crazy at times. For 70% of the people out there the hood would be fine as is. A little sanding and a coat of primer and it would be good. I just wanted great. For a trail truck, just paint it.

I have the BC BRONCOS Deluxe Fiberglass Hood and have no complaints.
