My hood got lit up pretty good by hail and it will definitely need to be replaced... I thought I could use this as an opportunity to "upgrade" my hood to something a little bit more interesting.
How many of you have replaced the factory hood with a Sport hood from the dealer? How much did it cost? I saw a couple of posts that were $1000 when ordered from a dealer.
What about aftermarket hoods? Which ones have a decent fit? The ones I have seen all have functional scoops directed toward the intake (which makes me concerned about water but maybe I shouldn't worried?)
The aftermarket one I am leaning towards is this one: https://amerihood.com/dodge-ram-1500-2009-2018-type-clg-style-functional-ram-air-hood.html
TLDR; Is it worth it to spend extra on the OEM sport hood or are the aftermarkets high enough quality that they deserve consideration? Thanks!
