Folks, there has been a long and drawn out story on getting a ram air hood for the cladded Av. Keystone will have one ready to go in about 2 months. This looks like it is a go for sure, finally.
They are advertising it through their network. and are starting to have pricing etc. There is both the hood and a ram air kit to the box if desired. If you go to stylin' concepts web site you can see the hood and get a ballpark estimate on prices
I took the time to get a price quote from one of their reps here in Canada. Just about fell out of my chair. They are looking for a lot more. This is true for other things like wheels and it is so frustrating, Why do they think they have to make a 70% margin on sales
Anyway, given their prices I plan to source out of the states, likely through an avalanche associate. I am being told that the hoods normally ship on a pallet of 5. Of course they come in a clear white prime ready for paint.
If there are 4 other people interested in this area I could likely get the GM dealership I use to take delivery of 5 as long as they were picked up QUICK. This could likely save a fair bit on shipping. I'm also going to have mine apinted by a shop close to the dealer. they did my cladding. If you are interested in getting the hood, check out threads here and on club avalanche and Keystones site and then let me know.
I'm sure I will be going ahead, and am not waiting for 4 more to make up my mind, just thought it might be an opportunity for some other folks to use my experience with shipping/customs/duty nightmares and save some serious coin compared to Canadian prices.
Anyone interested let me know.
