I was originally going to buy the shaker set up but them had some things come up, then I chickened out when I finally had money, bought the TruFiber hood instead......BUT for looks I def say the shaker!!!
The hood looks good just have to get hood pins to fix the passenger corner (it's lifted about a Qtr inch), rest of the fitment is good!!!
As it has been stated the place will have to do some work to fill in all the pin holes prior to painting it, mine ended up with a couple after it was done but very tough to see them, I will take it back to see if they can do anything about it.
It def gives the car a meaner look and all in all I'm happy with it!!
All fiberglass hood have "pin holes" the body shop will need to a lot of work to get the hood ready for paint. If they dont do it correctly you could end up with a tone of little holes in your hood.
yeah im leaning toward the shaker by danko. hearing about fitment issues with the trufiber hoods plus add $300-$400 just for paint. i think the shaker kit is around $1000.....alot more than the $445 trufiber hood cost, but hearing nothing but good things about them......decisions, decisions....now i dont know if i wanna get 20" black vipers or go with the shaker kit!!!!
I voted Shaker and was going to do this mod but gonna see how just a decal looks first.
On yours what would be sweet is a decal like style "A" under that shaker but you might have to get them to make it wider so it goes out to the trim ring edge and the pin stripe is on the hood and not under the ring. Make it all flat black- ring, scoop & decal or maybe color match just the scoop?
Lots of people have the SRT hood and the shaker is unique + you don't have that stigma of adding SRT parts. I emailed Danko a bunch of times and seems like a great fella so a shaker will be next if I don't like the decal.
In fact hint hint if Rider & Danko would get together and build a decal to tie the Shaker in nicely made for each others kit I probably would have jumped on that. I don't mind cutting the hood and would rather do that than mess with one that might not fit well and needs prep & paint work.
I did not write it down, but if I recall correctly the stock hood was 23lbs, ours is 19lbs +/- 1 lb since its hand made. Not a huge savings of weight by any means, however the stigma that good fiberglass hoods weigh more than aluminum is something I would like to break.
