Aftermarket hoods "help needed"

[KyleB]

Sorry for beating a dead horse, I know this topic has been covered several times, but I need suggestions!

I have a 09 Roush Blackjack, and I have fought with this in my head ever since I got the car. Since blackjacks are rare I wanted to keep it as close to stock as possible, but I can no longer stand the fake hood scoop. What are yall's suggestions on the best looking/quality hoods to go with?

I'm open to heat extractor, cowl, or ram air designs, but it has to be functional and hopefully not to ricey! So what do you think would look best on my car? Pics?

Keep in mind, the car is supercharged, so I would like it keep under the hood cooler as I live in the south and our summer's are crazy!

Thanks

I'm planning on going with the steeda ultralite. It's full cowl induction, lighter than stock, and is supposed to knock down temperatures by a noticeable amount.

What section should I post this in? I will move it.

And I will be putting my stock hood up, just in case I ever sell the car and someone "has" to have it.

Pm a mod and ask them to move it.

Thanks, and I don't think it looks bad, I just hate it being non functional. Kinda ricey IMO.

I've seen these, and they look pretty close to the stock hood with a roush hoodscoop.

mwall787, how was the quality? I have heard people say trufiber had fitment issues. Also it looks like all the trufiber hoods require hood pins

 

[mwall787]

I don't have the hood, I've only seen it once all prepped and painted. Looked nice, but I have no idea how much effort was required to get it to that state (I have also heard the same quality complaints).

I don't know if they require hoodpins (the pictures show them), other hoods on their website that say "all aftermarket hoods require hoodpins" are displayed on the cars without them.

I have a Steeda cowl hood, it's awesome. The Kaenen hood is great too, just keep the stock hood in storage and get something better!

I would look at the Kaenan or the HO fibertrends stuff. The quality and fit are second to none and not too bad a price either. I am a dealer for both.

do the roush see through hood, looks sweet. but IMO do a venom hood from trufiber.

Kaenen Cowl hood.

 

[SonicBlur]

Steeda or Kaenen and you're golden!!!

 

[waldogt07]

Kaenen 3'' Cowl ....FTW!!!!

 

[Robstang]

Kaenen makes the Steeda hoods, just an fyi.
