first of all stay away from unlimited products.you should know that.
aar or some others is the way to go.
nothing wrong with glass in my opinion but i would recomend getting a quality bolt on style,lift offs suck.

If you want a six pack scoop, go fiberglass. AAR or Glasstek. Lift off or hinged is up to you. Otherwise, steel hoods are fine. Shouldn't be that hard to find...

I love glass hoods for taking weight off the front of the car, but they require more than just two pins across the front. The one I had on my 69 Charger used to bow up so high at speed, I could see my air cleaner. I glassed a tube across the back for rigidity and had 4 pins across the front. Then it was ok.

I already have my hood scoop for the car that i have put on my steel hood it's just from that accident it really did a number to that hood it's bowed really bad.
So that's why tomorrow i am going to 2 junk yards in hopes i find me a dart or a demon more like a dart though.
If i don't find anything then my route will be a fiberglass hood.
I will let you guys know the outcome tomorrow

I just received a beautiful piece from AAR. Gaps are good with no low / high spots. Delivered to my place in under 3 weeks. It only weighs 26 lbs.  |

Hello:
DO NOT BUY YOUR HOOD FROM UNLIMITED!!!!!!! Poor quality finish / insufficeNt bracing for the hemi scoop, I added reinforcemint under the front edge of the scoop hole. They had written with some kind of marker on the surface of hood near where the letters DODGE go.
I sanded and primed the area, then the guys at the body shop sanded and primed. We shot a couple coats of black on it, and a week later the marking showed through the black paint.
If you have paid them and don't have the hood get your money back. I assure you won't like the product..
