Wanting to set by R/T apart of everyday crowd. Thought the old 6 pack hood would do it.
I've read a few old threads and seems Amerihood is popular. Is it the same hood as Speedform?

What eles is needed if you purchase aftermarket hood. Do they just bolt up adjust like stock hood.

And for the people who have had either for a while. What are your current thoughts

you may need weaker hood lift struts as the hood is lighter. You will def. need/want hood pins as the latch on the hood could get pulled out of the fiberglass at speed.

People on here also like Cervinis:


The best aftermarket hood for our cars is no longer made, the AFR hood.

Out of all the fiberglass hoods, from personal experience, I think Cervini's is the best but take that with a dead sea amount of salt. They are fiberglass, they all kind of suck in regards to finish, they all will have dimples and waves and require a bit of sanding and prep to look decent. It will ultimately be up to the skill and patience of the body guy you take it too. They are also heavy, and they all strongly suggest not relying solely on the hood latch and to supplement it with hood pins.

The cheapest and easiest route to go, is a factory OEM hood of which there are many styles and they all fit every year Challenger. The only drawback is some numpty calling you an "upbadger" for whatever reason.

The picture I posted is of a fiberglass scoop molded onto a stock alum shaker hood. Most good body guys will not attempt to do this kind of work. The one above lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. I don’t know if it’s living because it’s dry there or what… it sure the hell is not cool and pleasant : )

You cannot get a six pack scoop stock
