yeah i'm gonna make it functional but i have to get a SR intake now rather than a CAI

They are all built functional... but you have to hook them up to make them functional.

are you going to make them into an actual RAM hood?

joholste · Post by **joholste** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 10:12 pm

yes i do plan to make it into an actually hooked up Ram Air Hood... here's the plan... i will get the SR intake and then put one of the K&N filters that has an intake cone on the inside of the end of the filter as well and hook that up with a rubber hose....however the plan could change.this is the only one i can find that is similar to what i want:http://www.knfilters.com/searc...-4990

Nice Job!That hood didn't come with ductwork & filter? I thought that's what made it functional.

satur9 · Post by **satur9** » Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:33 am

the filter and ductwork is extra... go figure.. plus you still have to cut a hole in the top of your factory airbox.

Cool, just saw this thread and I must say the paint makes a big difference! I really like the look!

ArcsVibe · Post by **ArcsVibe** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 12:41 am

Wow! Congrats on the new hood it looks really good!!

LUVROK · Post by **LUVROK** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 4:07 am

The hood looks nice! I don't care much for the pins though, the smoother and less chrome the cleaner the look.

joholste · Post by **joholste** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 5:02 am

as i have stated in the past i really didn't want to put the hood pins on but i had a major hood gap and used them to get rid of the gap.

Houston · Post by **Houston** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 5:13 am

The hood looks great, but I gotta say the fit is terrible - tight to the right and wide gaps on the left (driver's side). Correct this and you have a sweet looking car.

Looks great Joe. Get it aligned so people will quit hasseling you.

joholste · Post by **joholste** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 5:33 am

easier said than done my main problem is the fact that the pins have become slightly unaligned and aren't holding a steady position...and i've already painted and drilled holes..... and the poopy heads didn't remove the metal disks to paint the hood

joholste · Post by **joholste** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 9:28 am

so i went to wax my car today and naturally enough it started raining on me:(
