Sweet lookin truck for sure! You should get the windows tinted nice and dark to match the smoked lights. Where did you get the red stickers for the hub caps?

Oh sweet, The stickers gave me an idea for the caps. I have a vinyl machine that I make all my decals with. I am thinking of doing the sticker over it then paint the rest of it black, and have the diamonds be chrome

I have the EXACT same idea, I even made a thread about it, I found a replacement hood from the dealership so I can cut up my hood and have a back up if I mess it up. I am so happy I am not alone lol

just have to be mindful of the rain issue. ill have to do some R&D, id be worried about rain and what not getting sucked in or pushed in. itll all depend on if i put a 90 on my filter to turn it towards the fender for cooler air, or keep it as is and put the scoop on it and figure out a way to deflect the water intrusion

ive got it. ill make it work, ill get a 3" piece of pvc of an intake coupler pipe. attach it to the hood so when it does get ram air it goes straight into the filter but is elevated so it wont gather rain

Would you put the scoop on the bottom corner like he did? I would make it work from mounting the scoop in the center of the hood

I would make mine dead center (I think it looks better in the center) then make a pipe system to the air box
