woohooo!
looks really good too. Almost worth waiting 15 daze for.
almost.
Here is how the hood tuned out:




I also added SXT headlights:

shaved the rood rack:

and I sprayed this chrome plate frame I ordered online while I was waitin':


all in all, I'm pleased with the results. My wipers do hit the hood and I'll probably just bent the arm of the passenger side wiper tomorrow to fix that. You'll notice they did put the washers in the hood which was a drag but oh well. I havn't tried em yet but I know they will spray the scoop. I recomend having the holes for these filled. I requested it but no dice.
The roof turned out great (second time around). I dunno how much I paid for the roof rack but shaving it cost me 900 bucks at the dealership. I figure that would be 500 at a regular body shop.
I wound up spending 2 grand at the dealership for everything. I paid regular price plus shipping for the hood but you guys will get a discount in bulk.

I sure am glad to have her back.

 

I'm liking those slitts on the sides like the Viper has! Very very nice!

approval from two little grinners

 

Looks great Grin, thumbs up all the way!

 

Sweet!

Why didn't you offer a trade in headlights with someone with an SXT?

I did. They didn't bite.
So I have two RT headlights, two taillights and a brilliant black magnum hood for sale.
cheap.

 

Really looks sharpe...I may break down and get the hood
for my RT.

do it.
it's ruff to say the least. Lots of ripples and even fiberglass mesh you can see throughout. It ook MANY coats of sand & fill and primer to make it ok. I can't say it's worth 795 dollars as I paid at least that much to smooth it our but a groovy dude on dodgemagnum.net has set up a group purchase where you can get much cheaper.
I had mine painted at the dealership's body shop. Huge mistake. Take it to your local body shop after paying less than 700 for it and you'll be all giddy.
Heck, I may be after a week or two. The fact that they had it for 15 daze leaves me with a sour taiste in my mouth. A real body shop will bust this out in less than 2 days.

 

I looked at the other site....could not find the group purchase info you mentioned...will
look again.

RK's site is down...looks like it may be back up soon.....I will check with my body shop
and see what they say....these guys do some real good work.
