anyone with a 03-07 thinking about getting an 08 hood? benefits? drawbacks?? I heard it ventilates better ...?? and obviously it looks slightly different too
I was gonna ask the same thing. About the paint. I have a 2006 Coupe Blue/White. Blue Streak can you post some pics of your rig? I'd like to see what it looks like on your car.

Here's one in red/silver. I had the stripes tapered to stay out of the vents. Blue Streak went with stock stripes
Hoods are 1200-1400 plus shipping, doesn't include hood pad and vent screens. dodge wants $500-600 for the screens, bought mine at Kragen for $50. Pad is around $100.00 from dodge, I don't have a pad. Paint, $600-$800, I paid more due to painting new front bumper. Blue Streak has tons of pictures from his conversion
my dad owns a dodge dealership in Rio Vista Ca, I bought my 08 hood for 980. Get a hold of me Ill get any of you guys a much better deal on stock OEM viper parts. 1500 for the hood is Bull shit........
$1200 shipped to any one in the us.....

Thanks for the pic! Looking at yours I may even get my stripes tapered as well! Blue Streak, can you post up all your pics from your conversion?? We have the same car and I'd like to see what mine will look like.
Got the hood for 1395$ plus shipping. The local Dodge Dealer wants 1495$ but you pay no shipping.
The grill sheet(18" X 4') was purchased from custom car grills for about 70$ and they are powder coated gloss black-very nice grill. Takes a little time and patience to make the grills. The 6 stock grills will cost over 600$ from Dodge.
Got the hood painted for about 400$. I like the wider stripes on the 06 so I did not have stripes tapered.
Here are a few pics--Last pic is with powder coated grills I made and installed. The pic with hood open was taken before the grills were installed.

The engine breathes so much better and runs a little cooler with the hood. I believe the Viper performs better.
The only problem with the new hood and a SC. With the flat air filter and driving in a hard rain-could get the filter wet. I don't think their would be a problem with the stock round air filters.
One 06 Viper owner that has a 08 hood and a SC-installed a grill on the hood intake. I don't drive in the rain but I could get caught so I am a little concerned.
