Default Hood Options

Had some hail damage yesterday and there is a chance I could get a new hood. Anyone have one of these installed. I like how it looks, but want to see it on a truck. Any pros/Cons to fiberglass hoods? I do really like the SRT-10 hood too, but my buddy has that one already (bighorn777)

I know most run the SRT-10 hood, but I am looking for any info on any of these hoods. Thanks!

Dude my stock hood is for sale, but the SRT is staying put water or not... You really liked my hood, just splurge and buy the OEM Mopar power bulge SRT hood. Steel is way better than Plastic and carbon fiber...

I really like the look of the 2nd choice. Those vents down the sides are sweet!

I LOVE the venom hood. The SRT-10 is a classic too but getting fairly common. That last one is getting that Japanese import feeling

It's defenitly different. I like the Venom hood, just seems like it might be a little too high, not sure. I will fnd out today if I get a new hood or not. Keep the ideas/opinions coming!

I like #2 and 3 also but as said before, steel is better than fiberglass. Glass tends to get chipped from rocks thrown up from other rides in front of you and the hood supports tend to crack in those area if not done correctly
