Yeah I agree the nly way I can approve a mod like this is exstensive body work to make it flow into the hood better and I think by the time you do all that work you could have bought a hood. just my opinion.

but all in all hey its your truck

Check the classifieds. SRT hoods come up now and then for much less than 700.

Plastic stick on scoop would look too French!

Rocket, I toyed with the same idea as you Buddy, and also Fiberglass good hoods, and in the end have decided, SRT-10 Hood, and paint by a good Body shop. Don't understand why shipping Costs, just go Dealer as they are the cheapest? I have mine teed up at the dealer, and because I am good for his business, He says I'll get the good price ($ 710) and there are 7 in stock at the big Mopar warehouse (500 miles away). So I pay for the hood with no freight charges and the dealer will even have it dropped off at the body shop for me no charge. I got quoted about 500 for the paint on the hood (both sides plus approx 20 bucks for the underside emmissions decal).

So this is what I am saving up for Buddy, like you in 2011. I also have Flares on the list and my other Blue rims to respray so might get those all painted in a 1-ner. So lookin at about 1230 bucks plus 5% Taxes and also a couple of Power by Hemi Decals or custom Crazy Spartan Decals for the sides of the scoop area.
