Duraflex hood?

[night hawk]

The next thing i wanna get for my truck is an srt style hood, and the cheapest ones i can find are duraflex.

Are duraflex products any good?

 

[HemiBabe]

I think they are pretty good from what I've read and they're pretty popular

 

[night hawk]

okay i was just concerned because i googled them, and other duraflex body kits for cars had fitment issues but they are the cheapest price lol

 

[HemiBabe]

Yeah I think they are made from a certain material that allows them to flex slightly instead of like the fiberglass hoods which are more brittle

alright thanks! do you know if they would have any fitment issues and all that stuff?

 

[HemiBabe]

Hmm well I just did a search on the internet and guys are saying the hoods cost a lot to be prepped for paint vs steel ones and sometimes have gaps.

Duraflex premium aerodynamics combine fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins to obtain its unique features. The new Duraflex technology obtains a much higher durability rate than the average fiberglass product, resulting in reduced shipping damages up to 75%.

Wermbang has a duraflex hood on his 2nd gen that he got for $50,

hmmmm what scares me is the gaps. and if they cost more to get prepped and painted, then i should just go for a steel one huh?

 

[HemiBabe]

yeah prolly so, I think they are like $200 more from the dealer but may be cheaper to pain mine is steel

can i just go to a dodge dealership (or call) and ask them or what?
idk how that works lol

 

[HemiBabe]

Yeah I'm sure you can call or go to one and order it, or you can get one off the internet, but sometimes you can work out a deal with the dealership to paint them too

 

[night hawk]

thats what im gonna do then. thanks for your help!

 

[HemiBabe]

You're welcome!
