$500 to ship a hood ?? I know shipping has gotten stupid expensive, but that seems unreasonably high. Where is it coming from ?

Have you tried finding a set up from a crashed car locally that you can go get ?

I wanted to put a shaker setup on mine too, but the cost was nuts. My justification for not doing it was I could trade mine for a scat pack shaker at the time with a little more dough than what the conversion would have cost on my R/T and got 110 more HP to boot. But with the high cost of these cars now, the hood is likely a more cost effective option. I drove a scat pack shaker when I considered the trade and and I can say the cool factor was there 100000%!!!! haha

Maybe try looking on copart or junkyard websites as you can find these cars wrecked and they are willing to sell the parts for a fair amount less than the dealers.

It's a big piece of metal. I think it was around $200 actually but if I overestimate I can only be pleasantly disappointed if it costs a bunch less.

I'm a "glass half-broken" kind of guy. (Mega-pessimist)
