Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

thanks for the compliments guys, it's never even been on the car... when i first posted it, everyone hated it...  :shruggy:
i think if it's perfomance gains you want a lighter fiberglass hood has to be the way to go, these hoods are awfully heavy!

Looks wise i prefer the chally T/A style. really don't like the early HEMI style, the a-12 style comes in the middle but seems like the most common and maybe the easy way to go...
BTW: there are dozens of threads on adding hood scoops to chargers... Avail. via search...  :yesnod:

I voted no but just because mine had one (6-pack) when I bought it and they are a pain in the butt to see around and seemed to suck cops out of side streets and on my arse everywhere I went!  :eek2:

I'm a big fan of the T/A scoop. I have a spare hood and the scoop, question is if I ever will get it ready or just using the setup I have now? :scratchchin:

I yanked my motor right after I did the body work last fall. I only drove it maybe 10 miles with the scoop so I can't speak for it being a cop magnet however it does obstruct the view a lot  :icon_smile_big:.

I like my Six Pack and I think it looks good at any angle :yesnod:.









Nothing shows body imperfections like flat black paint. :hah: :smilielol: :D :leaving:
