Keystone Functional Ram Air Hood Details, Review, and Pics!!
« on: August 18, 2009, 02:35:32 PM »
Had this posted on CAFCNA but I figured some on here may be interested (and I am posting on here more now anyway :thumbup:). Ok guys here we go!!  I just recieved the hood from Keystone, and have good things to report so far! It arrived packed really well from the manufacturer, and when pulled out it did have a few very small issues (i.e. swirls and bumps, but not a big deal), all in all the hood looks freakin awesome. Took it to my body and paint guy and he said all looks good and should be a 2 day job tops, basically depends on how it lines up on the truck, but so far so good! I will update as the we get further. It went in on Monday 8/17 so as things come up I will let you all know, but the first hurdle is over (got it here in one piece).  I will post pics of the final result when all done and report to let you all know of any noticiable gains in HP or MPG. So standby, here we go!!

O.K. first update about the hood! Just talked to my body and paint guy and it took just a bit of extra work to get it to line up right, but he said it was the best fit he has seen for a fiberglass hood! So that is another plus for keystone! It is getting sprayed as we speak, and the hood did come with the mesh inserts installed and primed so getting those painted black to match the rest of my mods. More to come! Sposed to get it back tomorrow or first thing thursday, so standby for pics.  :thumbup:

Ya nothin you can really do about the swirling etc. but no fault of the manufacturer at all, and my paint guy took care of it super easy! Only thing I was worried about really was a crack er something like that but even if so nothing a boat shop couldn't take care of and I have one right down the street! :thumbup: I am lookin forward to seein what she looks like, should look pretty bad ass! I had them paint the msh inserts black to match my black bowtie and the headlight covers and such so should look pretty cool. standby for pics, and if you comin to bratfest you can check it out first hand with the intake system it is made to work with! :coolsmiley:
