I Like My Fiberglass Ram Air Hood But I Hate It.

[OG-TERROR]

I purchased the hood cause I really like the looks of it. But After I took to the trails I found out I made a mistake. The Ram Air hood doesn't allow me to see about 4 feet in front of me.

I was about to replace it with a dipped hood but I can't find one. So Just as I took the saver saw to my brand new truck 3 years ago right after I drove it from the dealer with 8 miles on it, I'm now about to repeat the same scenario by taking the saver saw to the hood.

This is the hood:

This is what the hood look like after installation.

This will be somewhat the idea I'm contemplating after I take the saver saw to remove the scoops and create a dipped hood out of it.

Do I know what the hell I'll be doing? NO!

Am I confident that whatever comes out of it will look awesome? YES!!!

I'm glad I followed my instincts here to stop and see what was on the other side of the hill, if I hadn't it would had been a disaster:

Is modifying the hood going to change your view that much?? I mean, I know it'll improve your view some. But, I don't think it would've helped in the situation above..?

Holy crap Leo. I don't know about what you are doing to the hood, but it was a damn good thing you got out to check the other side of the hill.

My stock hood improves my view greatly but cutting through the fiberglass will be easier than cutting through metal.

your crazy man

[FONT=verdana,arial]http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/crazy.gif[/FONT].... I could never do something like that.. Good Luck tho!

Just couldn't imagine using a

on your hood. But your idea that you have drawn up looks pretty good, not sure how easy it would be to do tho. And with an opening like that, what you gonna do when it rains.. Wouldn't you think that would effect something?

LOL, well if it rains it will get wet don't you think?

Like I tell everyone, take it easy, relax, and don't worry about it, it will be fine.

It will be like creating a roof, so it will be alright.

You could cut them off and fiberglass in some heat extractors similiar to what you had designed.
