Mopar,
FANTASTIC job. I would love to have a hood like that on both of my SRTs. As mentioned, it does look like it was built that way. Just a great job and stunning results.

I have seen some hood mods that are atrocious, and am generally a pretty big fan of the factory hood....

But that looks amazing, absolutely great MOPAR, the craftsmanship is truly top notch.

Here is stage one.............
Moparbust, I know that everyone is giving you props over the finished product which is absolutely awesome, but I just had to go back and look at all the attention that you paid to the detail and see how you really did this right! So I am not only giving you props but Mad Props for some truly excellent work!

You captured key essentials to making this hood mod come off right. You said that you were going to do it and you did just that "you pulled it off marvelously". The key details that hit me are the center line or spline, the soft bends coming up from the headlights back, the rear corners blending the upward sweep with the fenders, and not to mention the perfect blend of the center spline integrated with the new raised center. Clean, tasteful, professional and did I mention I want one? LOL!

Outstanding Job!

Well, it's a good thing you're in Texas, or Chas and Tony would have some competition at Carlisle!!

The hood looks fantastic, and blends with the rest of the car like it was factory. Nice work.

Man this is so tight. Best exterior modification that I Have ever seen. I am used to see two jags in front of my appartment with the supercharged on the hood.

Have to say the guy's with their Louis Vuitton bags would be amazed to see that also on the hood of my car.

Congrats with your car. sweet ride
