Just an opinion, but I would love to see your grill color matched with chrome inserts. To me the scoop takes up a little too much visual space on the hood. By having the grill paint matched, it would visually increase the length of the hood.

Are you happy with the fit and it that hood actually heavier than the original one which is Aluminum.
Man I saw that red truck and I have the Black Canadian Sport so my grill is colour matched with black honey combs..man I would be set.
Yours looks awesome, I don't think a chrome grille in there would look good but that is my opinion.

Sometimes too much information is not good. Maybe people don't want you to reallly know where they live. I have purchased items from people who say they live in California and the package comes from nearby in Michigan and I could have picked it up.

Just from looking at the underside of teh hood, it would suck to drive it in the rain or washing it. If you were washing your truck and sprayed your scoop, it looks like all the water would fill up your air filter box.
I'm not "bashing" the hood, it looks cool but I doubt you would see any measurable performance gains. Any gains you would see probably comes from the CAI.
Just 1 example of ram air installed on a car:
The Ferrari 458 Italia claims they get 5Cv from the ram air effect when traveling over 225Kph. Converted to english means they get about +5hp when traveling over 150mph.
If it takes that kind of a car to see such minimal gains from the ram air effect, what does this say about the performance gains of this hood?

Where does all the water, snow slush/salt go?
I live in southern ontario canada it is wet a good amount of time here
What effects does water getting in the air intake have?
With the size of this driving in a good rain storm its going to get a lot of water in it
