I wasn't a fan of the stick ons either until a damn pine limb come down on my truck while it was parked in the woods whilst hunting in my stand one day. I tried like hell to pop out the forearm sized crease right in the middle of my hood. Got 90% of it to pop perfectly and the last crease popped the other way, outward and off flew a quarter size flake of paint, right down to bare metal.

Replacing was stupid high, repainting was stupid high, so I bought a $160 band aid, color matched when it came in the box.

Some work with a roto zip on the front of the scoop, a cutout in the middle of the hood and some gutter mesh and it's functional. Only job left is to re-route my CAI to make it fully functional (and free up the passenger side where the CAI is now so's I can get the pass. side battery tray and add the second battery I've always wanted).

ALWAYS make a repair a mod, boys...

thats a pretty sick idea, then you got a functional hood scope with intake right under it and two batteries i like that. what motor you have in your ram?
