The new 1500 Black Express has a plain hood. Its OK I suppose, but I'm wondering whether I can get away with a stylish aftermarket offering. I'm really waffling on this as I detest installing anything that does not actually work :^D

But I'm open-mined, so please post pics cause I'm curious what folks have elected to install on their rides. TIA!

Stick with something like a S&B Simon,any scoop stuck through the hood has to be either at the leading edge of the hood,or at least 2" tall if in the center of the hood,to combat the dead air space adjacent to the hood surface.

My version of a functional scoop. A Vararam with a custom snorkel.

^^^ very nice.

How was fitment?

Was a lot of work needed to get it to line up, or taking out high/low spots, and paint prep?

I'm not a big fan of aftermarket hoods but this would look good on my Rebel.

Fitment wasn't bad . There are larger gaps than a stock aluminum hood but that's always the case with fiberglass. My body guy showed them to me ... Without him showing me I woildnt have noticed . He also said he did some prep work on it but overall not too bad . I'm happy with it .

I'm glad the prep work wasn't too crazy, just goes to show the craftsmanship put into that piece. Thanks for the info, I'm sure more of us here might consider that hood now.

Thanks everyone, after viewing everything out there I elected to purchase a painted version of the HS009 from Mr. Hood Scoop.

If I was to choose an aftermarket hood, the Amerihood SST would be the one.

Bu-bye :^)
