It's made from a mesh screen that's supposed to go over your gutters to keep the leaves out. They have it in home depot by all the fencing equipment. The piece is about 2.5 feet long, 8 inches wide, and slightly curved.

I think they would look better gloss black on your hood since that is one of those Suncoast hoods right? Never liked the square shaped openings on those hoods, and the bright screen makes it stand out even more.

Yeah, I've got the Hooker and it kicks ***. I always liked the premium tips on the Corsa CB... But maybe you can't see that the Pros aren't full length on a TA. Do you have any close up pics of the tips, or how about an *** shot?

The only downfall of the Hooker system is the crappy tips. I was going to go Mecham, but a dual dual is more my style.
