thanks and its also a fiberglass hood thats one reason for the cheaper shipping boxed up he said is around 45 lbs so not to bad now i need to order the grille inserts and the wiper sprayer relocater for it but did these hoods come with the internal ducting as well cause if it did all the better but i would need to order that also

ok now i got a few questions for you this is what the underside of the hood looks like http://moparmuscle.automotive.com/12...photos3-0.html and to try and make it ram air as possible could i use this style intake http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BCP-0...Q5fAccessoriesbut i have to deal with rain and lots of snow so what would be the best way to do this so i dont flood the engine with water

i dont think ya need to worry about water getting through the holes. billy had his intake right below the hole he had cut through his hood and didnt have any problems with water. and the 3G guys cant use thoes intakes b.c they dont fit with the hood, not sure about us.

well figured i may try it as cervini's dont make the actually ram air internals for the hood im gunna have to do the next best thing and if i order it and it dont fit oh well ill just return it im not to worried about it i just wasnt sure about the rain and having water blow into the filter right behind the school and what do you think about doing the inside of the scoops the recessed part black and the rest body color but thinking of putting Ram Air 4.7l on the side of the scoops in black

well i has my doubts about the shipping cost and guess its closer to 350 for shipping alone so he just refunded my money so i bought a 3rd gen r/t hood scoop so lets hope i can get it to work on my hood if not im just gunna be pissed and probley just hit it with a hammer and leave it like that lol but im planning on cutting it out and making it functional but 1qt of paint for the patriot blue pearl coat is about 100 bucks for the paint and the clear but not gunna leave it red by any means

Not bad, I just got my SRT Hood installed, any aftermarket hood looks good on these trucks. Imo.
