The 05 and early 06 hoods were aluminum and very light indeed. Sometime during the 06 production run they changed the hood to steel and it is significantly heavier.
Does anyone have a link for this? I find it hard to believe.
Mine was made in early Feb, 2006. Factory hood is aluminum and weighs a good deal less than the aftermarket Kaenen hood. Are you suggesting the '07s are steel as well?
I never had the stock hood so I couldnt tell you. This hood isnt terribly heavy but I sure like the way it looks so in the end it wouldnt have made any difference
