Has anyone removed the tie downs from the front hood,

[rmb]

I assume that there is an aftermarket part that one can install in lieu of the tie downs, ideally the same color of the car, to make them flush. Thanks!

You’re looking for something called a trail sight delete.

Here’s example:
DEE ZEE 21- Ford Bronco Fender Sight Delete

I have the Dee Zee product mentioned above and had them painted to match.

Is the fitment at the front of the hood the same as their ad shows?

Here are a few more photos showing how they fit.

I say it every time someone posts about this. But I wish someone would make a replacement hood that eliminates the trail sights. It would make the front end look super clean and would have that old school look like @Manx posted.

They're not in the hood. They're in the fenders.

They might be attached to the fender. But I’m saying to remove the trail sight. Then design/install a new hood that covers up the void left from the trail sights and goes all the way to the fender line.

Nice, did you paint yourself or have someone do it?

Wow, they did a great job! I'm far, but not too far from them. What fender flares did you get, I like the squared look and they don't look weird like some I've seen.

Would you mind sharing the pricing on the painting?

the flares are from KBD Body Kits https://www.kbdbodykits.com/ford-bronco-2021-2023-kits.html

If you call GAS at 818-922-3845 and ask for Steve, I'm sure he'd be happy to give you quotes on painting.

Thanks for that link. It's hard to tell from their website to see how they overcame the fitting a square peg into a rounded hole issue with the fenders. Do you have any good side picks to see how it looks in real-life?

I went with the blumak3d sight deletes. A little more expensive but I think they have a better fit then the deezee.
