Adding this scoop to my 04 WBH - What do you think, I really like it, Fits decent and does not scream "top fuel" or anything too crazy. Opinions welcome. BTW - How the heck do you look for posts that you have replied on?

Thx.

That looks very good. Is that an aftermarket hood or just add-on scoops?

Looks good!

Dodge Ram SRT?

Is it a ram air or can it be modded for a true ram air?

alwhite00 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 13, 2009, 08:42:36 PM »

It's off a Dodge Rumble Bee truck, Definately not ram air, Just for looks, What do you think? keep it?

Definately keep it.

It actually fits really good in that location, I would like it slid back a few inches but the AVY hood is flatter than the Dodge and it has about 1/4" gap along the sides then. Believe it or not that is the factory Dodge red, Matches really good.

It looks good where it sits. Long time ago i eye balled them to make sure if they would fit my factory hood but never made a move on it.

I agree that it looks good and that it would look better slid back a few inches. Could you cut some of the back of the scoop off to allow it to slide back?

The center along the sides is agout .250" high so I would need to trin all along the sides and the back and then the gasket wouldn't work. (it's molded plastic) + then I would need to paint. I think I am going to run it where it's at. Thanks for the compliments.

I think it looks great where it's at. How are you going to attach it ?

A plastic gasket and rivets ?

Got it on Craigslist. Finally got something I wanted off of there. Usually they flake out & break all contact with you.

I'd bolt it on too since it won't require a costly paint job.

If you ever get it repainted then mig-weld it into place permanently first. my .02 cents

alwhite00 · « **Reply #25 on:** July 26, 2009, 07:09:01 AM »

Well, Here it is installed. I was able to move it back about 4" and I think it looks a lot better.

The angles on the side of the scoop flow really well with the angles on the hood. The hood & scoop are all fingerprints as I just got done bolting it down 2 minutes before the pictures.

I'm don't like red and I think it looks great.

It's just a color thing, red is my least favorite color but I'm a fan of solid colors.
You can paint it black to match cladding someday if you want a new look.

Good lookin hood!

I am partial to the functional hood myself, so would mod the mod!

Looks good though and you get the benefits of a steel hood, nice!
