HOODS

[2020 DS Ranger]

I would like to get a more aggressive-looking hood. Are there any suggestions on manufactures?

I was unsure of the fiberglass hoods. was told they all have issues? I know corvettes have had them for years. I like the scoop option, gives it a raptor feel, and it's aggressive.

How about carbon fiber?

Well, the price is not what I was looking for. I really would like to see if anyone here has one and pictures? also maybe steer me towards one.

What would the scoops ram air into? Can it be adapted to the air intake or is it more for cooling?

it looks like it has a pathway to direct air to the intake box.
but its not clear in this picture if the box is modified?

May I ask where this picture is from. I’m in the market for a hood and can’t find pictures or videos like this.

It’s from the RKSport site referenced in this thread.

Thanks. The hood I chose had only shown closed pictures. Other options show more.

Im slightly concerned with the duraflex hood due to not being able to use gas struts, and having to use hood pins.

Interesting thought. I didn't read the description near the bottom of the page. I imagine all fiberglass and carbon fiber hoods would have the gas strut stress issues.

Just add this...it's aggressive, while at the same time it's stylish and functional...

My next issue will be, what intake works with the under hood vent port.
