i saw one today on a black dak, and now i want one too it looked like an 08 but i couldnt tell for sure through the rear view mirror, is there 08+ r/t trucks, and if so where can i find a hood

 

Late at night and be very quite. and steal one off the same color truck. Be sure and be nice to give them yours, because you know they want a regular hood for their truck.

That, or wreck yours and pay a little extra to have the body shop replace it with an R/T hood...

Yeah, I'm trying to say they are like chickens teeth to find, and pricey as well.

 

I know for my 05 Mopar makes a bolt on hood scoop. I would love to do one .... if it didnt cost $500. I would think harder about it if it was actually fuctionable.

 

Mine came off an 06 R/T I bet you could make it fit.

Blown287... is that a functional hood?

 

Mine is, I made it that way. I had a ram-air box in there before the blower.

 

thats what thinking, but i did read somewhere that the 08 hoods were different... to me they look the same, other than mine has a recess right down the middle, so i cant even do the add on one, but i guess i have to find one first

 

just try and if it doesnt fit you can send it mine way lol i wouldnt mind dodgetrucker

 

dodgetrucker75, I guess the quick answer would be...no. At least I don't think it would.

The long version is...our hoods not only have the center indent (compared to a crease on the 05-07) but the slope of the hood seems to be a slightly different angle and curvature. I put a K&N CAI on my truck and if you look through the grille as you're closing the hood, you can see that the metal enclosure doesn't even come close to the underside of the hood with it fully closed, which pretty much proves the difference in the hood shape between the 2 trucks. It also probably explains why my intake is sooooo freakin' loud.

I'm sure the 'grille' in the opening of the hood scoop could be modified to fit the indent (maybe like an insert glued in place to fill the gap) but I'm willing to bet that the curvature of the scoop is different and would leave gaps when installed.

But then, I've been wrong before. :/

BTW, here are some scoops for various Dodge's that are much cheaper than the ones offered on other websites. And they are advertised as painted to match with factory paint codes. They are slightly different than the one for the Dak RT but probably wouldn't be any more of an issue to mod and make fit.
