fiberglass question

Recommended Posts

this is kind of a tech question, but not a Z question, so i put it here. anyway...i'm looking at fiberglass hoods for my '98 Dakota R/T so i can have an actual cold air intake (functional hood scoop(s)), but they are all built like stock hoods with bracing and crap on the underside, therefore making them all cost 400-700 dollars. I don't want to spend the same amount for a hood that would buy me an entire Z front clip from JC Whitney. Most of the companies make "race glass" parts, that are lighter in weight, and don't have the factory mounts so are hood pinned on, and cost 150-250. They say not recommended for street, but does it really matter that much? i was thinking about putting the stock under hood heat mat on it too so it was less likely to warp from engine temp.

any thoughts?

Thanks

Patrick..
