I checked into that hood at my Dodge dealership. I was told the hood is aluminum, so significantly lighter in weight than the stock hood. I was told the price was $975 for the hood, and that they could paint it for me for another $300.

I would love to buy that hood for my truck, and then find someplace to put a carbon fiber stripe on it to match my Challenger SRT8. Anyone know where I could get the carbon fiber stripe made, and how much that would cost?

Interesting! I didn't realize the stock hood was aluminum.

MOPAR (bolt on scoop) below won't fit the new 1500.

So what made you decide to put a wing on there? And why do you have a spare lying around. Sorry just curious

I always liked the unique Daytona wing. I scored an extra wing when I had a warranty issue in '05. The wings are blow molded & many of the originals expanded in summer heat...trapped gases could not escape. Upgraded versions have vent holes drilled on the underside to release pressure. Roush - St. Louis installed the body kit, exhaust, graphics and spoiler on '05 Daytona's.

Couldn't you buy the hood and take it to a body shop and have them make it functional for a decent price?

'09 MOPAR "twin scoop" hood needs a twin intake duct (similar to below) with open grille inserts to make it funtional.

MOPAR Daytona Ram Air Duct
Bolts under hood, routes to Mopar CAI
This CAI is not fully sealed ram-air
