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!

  http://www.wsracingfiberglass.com/products.htm

 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!  eek

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.
