A buddy suggested this is it Duraflex® - SS Ram Air Style Fiberglass Hood (Unpainted) So it's fiberglass. They say it needs pins and can't use gas struts but none of the pictures show pins. All I got is stock hood. Fiberglass seems like a pain.Dunno, but I got one of those. Wouldn’t mind trading you, whatcha got? Lol
I had them on my Cervinis too. Pins aren't needed unless its going to the track or doing high speeds. Struts and the stock latch work fine, as long as the manufacturer reenforces the mounting points.I have hood lift supports on mine.
It's the little things, right? At least that's what the untucked shirt company says. The owner of the red truck doesn't know what hood it is.It’s been a while since I’ve seen that version AAD. I have the “standard” version of the AAD Cobra hood and if I recall, the rise of the cowl induction was a smoother transition and not such an angle like the Duraflex.
Not to mention that the reining body and paint guru on this site, the one that did my hood, says that Duraflex hoods are CRAP. Says he'll charge an arm and a leg to anyone who wants him to make one workable.That red just looks so good compared to this. Is the duraflex a clone of the AAD? I got issues.

Well, this one appears to be. Although Ram Air is not really true. All it does it route all the air to a large hole on the underside of the hood. All it's doing is just putting air in the vicinity of the filter, not ramming it into the intake. All my vehicles, including my Ranger, have hoses routing cold air to the vicinity of the filter. I never refer to it as ram air. And in any event, the air is not cold during the warmer months.I had one of the original Cobra Hoods and the vents were never functional like the description on that hood above says.
cbxer55 and all, I am a newbie to all this, but I would think that the air management of this hood has to be superior to stock and all the hoods that are just dress up scoops and cowls (push up bras, which have their place!). Where would you rank this air management compared to a 2 inch cowl hood?Well, this one appears to be. Although Ram Air is not really true.
