I'm pretty sure I know where you took that pic of it in the mud. I took my Dodge 4x4 up there a few years ago before all the houses were built.

Right off of 3046?

if you gotta get fenders and your planning on a new hood, maybe you should look into a silverado front end swap or something of that nature, i like tahoes with those swaps, they look cool and subtle.

It really is paint, just called dye. I think clearing it would make it glossy and look kinda weird, idk though. Just have to make sure you clean the plastic very well.
So you work in a auto shop yet you dont know that there are different types of clear coat? Flat, Satin, Matte.....

Is the cowl hood you are considering a Reflexxion hood? If so, I have one on my GMC truck and it looks good.
