That is a fiberglass hood made by Good Hood. Fiberglass will crack and warp overtime. And because their hoods are made by the hand, the fit and finish will not be perfect. Good Hood and Keystone are crap.

You want a real Ram Air Hood hood made from OEM materials by ramairhood.com The Ram Air Hood is much stronger and impact and heat resistant. And because they are made by machine it makes for a perfect fit and finish.

The Ram Air Hood also comes prepainted. The Good Hoods/Keystone make you hassle with a body shop for paint.

That is insane, anymore pics? I've been waiting for a decent cowl induction hood and thats the best I've seen so far, still not perfect but getting better. I would leave the hood that color on my black truck, saves some money. ;P

How much is it btw and who makes it.

Yes. I bought mine from Raim Air Hood. It arrived prepainted in true blue. The hood and paint looks stock.
