No Limit. Seen the kits but I can't speak to their quality. Looked good.

I don't think that you would have any issues with the No Limit kit. They don't like to sell anything they come up with until they have all the bugs worked out.

Re: 57 Forward Tilt Hood
I got mine from no limit and had to do a little work to it to get it right, Still a nice kit for the money.

Re: 57 Forward Tilt Hood
As you can see they didn't sit flat the angle was off so, i used a die grinder and cut right where the bend was about a 1/8" deep or just till i could bend it to sit flat and then re welded it together. Everything else was fine, not a big deal.
