I want to order a SRT-10 hood for my 04 Ram,
Should I order Factory http://www.eastcoastmoparts.com/auto...mponents-scat?

Mines an 04 do I order a 04 SRT hood or are they same though out the years?

Is there a good aftermarket one?

Do I reuse the latch and hinges and everything from my current truck?

Does grill and the grill frame get reused?

Does the hood get any kinda insulation under it?

What is this part ? Does it come with the hood and do i need it or is there something else to use?

Thanks

 

All hoods from 02-08 are the same. 02-05s and 06-08 grills are different. All hinges are the same.

 

I called around a little, and the Hood still is available with plenty in stock. You can also get it though the Accessory catalog complete and it's cheaper then ordering it separate.

Ill probably wait untill spring to get it.

From my understanding it is the same hood either way.

 

I ordered my hood today, its going on a Black truck I am wondering what color should I paint the bezel,
Leave it plastic color?
paint it to match hood?
Flat Black?
Thanks

 

Whatever color suits your tastes.

 

Lol Thanks I was just looking for ideas, I am thinking leaving it plastic color, i do see that most paint them.

 

I left mine the black color, I like the way it looks.

 

That is what I am thinking, Break it up a little bit. I can always take it off and have it painted if I don't like it.

 

There ya go, just be careful removing the scoop, it's real easy to break the tabs and studs where the screws go.

 

I ordered the Hood I think on Friday and I got it today and dropped it off at my buddies Body shop. The Bezel that came with it was already in a primer gray unlike the hood which was primer black. So it looks as if Ill paint the bezel the color of the truck and just leave the little plastic screen plastic black color. I am also going to have him paint and clear the bottom of the hood, unsure at this point if ill order the hood insulation to put on as it is on back order at this time.

While it is at the shop I am also going to have him paint the ram emblem on the front like a satin black, It is the only emblem left on the truck, Id remove it but it appears indented in the grill.
