Exterior Discussion / ModificationsWant to change the look and appearance of your Dodge Challenger? This section is for the discussion of any exterior visual modifications. Examples include wheels, custom paint, grills, etc.
Apart from the hood scoop, the rest of the system is ready to go. Steve Dreyer, the man behind Autoform will fine tune the design of the hood scoop to allow the use of taller air filters. I'll disassemble the hood scoop parts and take pics to show you guys how it's secured in the hood.
The hood scoop was designed in a way so that if you have one of their Shaker intake system or their T/A style Scoop system, you can easily switch out parts to achieve a new look while using the same exact Autoform hood, all without drilling.
We drove the car home from the body shop after the install, going about 65 mph on a light downpour and the hood scoop held up fine with the rain shield (not shown in these pics) and water drainage system working as designed. It’s awesome to hear the engine breathing coming out through the hood scoop. I’m very happy with this product and is anxious to see the final design of the hood scoop piece. I haven’t gotten a chance to put the car on the dyno but will do when we get a chance.
The AFR MAX AIR hood scoop system is available for pre order at a introductory price of $1995. ($2070 MSRP).

Reason: added more pics
Jon, looks kick ass man...and I hope you don't mind me stealing the splitter add on idea from you, looks killer with the 2011 airdamn, are you going to add on the typical adjustment hardware to complete the look? I am thinking about it. The hood is wicked.
what do you have in the lower grill? a retractable front plate? or lidar killer?
Hahaha..... Well crap, been waiting for someone to build that hood, like the old 1320! But with 5.25 years of note been TELLING everyone NO WAY gonna put hood on banks car, and being retired, hood and paint would have to been on another note! Sooo how much to ship to Dallas, Tx? Flatblack on my PCP car is gonna be SWEET! And DEBT, well now days I look at as someone rooting for my continued existance, LMAO!

Looks nice! I like the 2011 air dam too. Looks like you installed a rub guard too. Where'd you get it? Custom made?
Just made it out of 1/4" board. A little grassroot style LOL but works for now.

Thanks Bill. Yeah man, the splitter lip add on I thought is an easy way to accentuate the 2011 392 lip. Just be careful getting into steep driveways if your car is slammed.
I have the retractable lic. plate holder in the lower grill. Best spot I found to mount this thing but just needed to cut the plastic mesh grill. That part is cheap anyway to replace to no biggie.

I can't put a retractable without it poking out real far, got a intercooler in the way I think I will do the splitter, even add the turnbuckle hardware to it to hold it up. going to do little tabs to do a plate mount that makes it real easy to remove for photo shoots and shows...but keep me legal on the streets, don't want to be hassled for nothing. yeah, driveway entry might be a pain
