Hood insert glare

[mgalland]

Does anyone make a flat black sticker for the back of the hood insert? The glare from the sun sometimes is blinding.

Thanks

Yup, I think most look on Amazon for them, but maybe @securityguy can chime in, I think he put a set on.

That seems a little rich for what they are, maybe wait a bit and get aome
Input from some others, I know a few have done this, they may have more cost effective solutions, $35 bones for that seems so steep.

That's the one I installed. Very happy but priced higher than they should. Capitalism! So what...it's $35...just buy it and get it done

I only notice the glare when my truck is dirty.

Mine came pre-wrinkled, and they are super thin, so no getting the wrinkles out. I've done lots of vinyl. Too thin to stretch, took off. Going wrap.
If you do get them, trim the white backing to match the shape of the decals. Makes it way easier to align them. Mine were just sh*t out of the box. Oh, and did I mention it took 10 days to get to me? Not impressed :/

Sheesh. Get me a week to dial them in and I can make some for our trucks high qual and price them at $20 shipped if you guys are interested.

Yes, interested. Just fried my retinas yesterday. Can't believe that made it past inspections, lol.

I grabbed the ones on amazon as well, they work great.

Would be more than happy to buy a second set to have on hand from @ZR2BIZON, even though it will have gasser cooties all over it.

What inspections?

Inspections would have caught that gaff, the bumper thing and the infotainment thats worthless as tits on a boar. This is a cool truck but its far from perfect.

 

[McManly]

Good point, forget the inspections. What about one simple test drive in the sun,?

Anyone found another option other than the Amazon ones?

Other than popping it out and painting it... I don't think so.

I covered the back of mine with some matte ppf, it was a little tricky to apply but works great. You can also find matte ppf on amazon.
Xpel also sells a precut piece for the entire cowl, but it’s $300

I share a building with a car wrap company. I had them wrap the back of the cowl with matte black vinyl. Looks better as one contiguous piece.

I painted mine. I used Rust Oleum automotive flat black and it helped cut down the glare. It took a little work to mask everything off but 18 months later it’s still in great shape.

Why not just put vinyl on it like everyone else for about $20???

Apparently that would have been too easy.
