2011 Ram 1500 Crew Cab build

[DRKNESS]

To me there is no such thing as my " idea " vehicle. I used to do that with my BMW and Legacy and just continued to drop coin on them. In the end I ended up bored with them after two/three years. I didn't start modding the Ram until last year and I've had it since 2010 and 176,000 miles. Yes $1500 for the hood won't hurt me dollar wise, but it would BUG me mentally lol.

Yeah, I can understand that part.

Well now I am trying to order a oem Sport hood and they want my "vin" lol. I explained to them in the beginning that I do not own a Sport, just looking to add that part to my current vehicle. At this rate staying as I am is looking better and better.

They may need the VIN to match the paint.

I have "heard" that even one paint code can vary a bit on how the paint turns out based on temperature, humidity, etc. of when the paint was applied.

All oem hoods unless special ordered come primered, it makes it easier for the shops to match them. This I know because of the body shop that I deal with. Because of the age of my truck, they prefer it that way so they can more so closely match the hood with the fenders/doors/etc.

Cars.com and find a Ram Sport in your model year. A lot of times, the VINs are listed so you can CarFax, etc. the vehicle.

Did as suggested and was able to grab a 2012 Vin to send to them. Let's hope there aren't anymore hurdles after this lol.

Well while I am waiting dealing with this Sport hood situation, decided to try something else. One thing even with my Hemi that I've noticed is pedal lag. Yes I know that I have M.D.S on it but taking off sometimes makes me feel as it's saying " ok you're pushing the gas pedal, but I'm not ready to go yet ". So I'm doing a little cheat method and see what comes of it.
