Default Shaker Hood Opinions Wanted!

We are developing a functional ram air hood for the 2008 Challenger in a shaker hood style. We have a prototype now and would like to start production in 6 to 8 weeks. Let me know what you like or dislike about the attached photos.

Cool. Are you using fiberglass or fiber carbon?

Fiberglass with steel internal components at all attachement points so that this is a true bolt on replacement.

Looks good from what I could see. Only the last 2 pictures are viewable. Is it metal?

Haha....(evil grin) It looks awsome... man that's what i've been waiting to see... it might look a little better though if the hood was more flush when it comes to the Shaker... but it really does look like what I want at least, I mean I would pay for it, hands down...

I think it looks good but it is missing that black lining around the shaker just like on the chargers of new with shakers. It is missing that space around the shaker, ill post pics when I can. Also if the hood was completely flat would be great.

Looking good. Just curious on the "functionality" part of it. Will/can you plumb it into the air box???

instead of raising the hood scope, lower the height of the "bevel" on the hood by @1/4 inch which will give the appearance of raising the scope. As it stands, it is very good looking and with a few minor tweaks you will have many a buyer !
