Mine's wrapped up and leaning against the wall. The body shop is probably the only place that would want it. You may get $100 on one of the truck boards if you are lucky....
I know we all already have trucks but for those of you that don't, the dealer will probably throw one on your new truck at cost just to get the sale.

I'll bet that by the time the air gets into the engine that you will see zero gain by having a Ram-Air type setup. It just has too far to go before reaching the engine!! If you just want to show everybody that you can make it, then great. I use mine for looks and it probably helps keep the engine itself a bit cooler....

this is how the fact does it, through the passenger fender.

My dealer sold me the hood for $575 and is going to paint and install it for the cost of materials when the truck gets here (any day now). In fact, they are supposed to paint it today. (Electric Blue) They also sold me a body color grill already painted for $300 installed, so the whole upgrade will end up costing me around $900. And yes, it's just for looks.

well i cant give any insight on what to do with your hood, an 8 point buck at somewhere close to 65 payed for my hood and grill, bumper,pretty much a front clip -a fender. . would of been nice if a factory intercooler would have been as expensive as a BD or Banks, but o well, cant rely on your insurance for all your upgrades, and actually thats another reason i went through chysler for the hood.
Now u guys prolly shouldnt go out and chase animals down and tell your insurance company it was my idea

well i have 2 reasons. yes one is looks and the other is im just running a k&n cold air kit now and it seems that even with the pre wrap the filter sucks full of dust off gravel roads and anything else from under the truck. im hoping that supplying air from up at the top of the hood instead of from everywhere underneath the truck will keep the filter much cleaner, im gonna to fab a larger aluminum air box around the k&n. they only thing im not sure of is wheather or not i can fit a large enough duct from under the hood there to the box, i dont want to choke anything thing down! i dunno, still in dispute but thinking of trying it
