Yeah, the one I am looking at is from DG Motorsports but it doesn't say if it's RAM AIR FUNCTIONAL. I will call them up tomorrow (Monday) when they are open and ask. But until then if anyone knows of another place that sells them I'd appreciate it. Thanks for the replies.

    Just a lot of ricers put carbon fiber hoods on their cars. They are lighter though. Nothing to be made fun of but a regular fiberglass hood would work just as fine as a carbon fiber one. But it's your car and do what makes you happy

    Plus a lot of ppl call most anything non stock rice. Including myself. I have to get myself out of that habit

    ever get a carbon fiber splinter? if you have not, you will know the best reason NOT to get a CF hood once you get one! if you get in a wreck with real CF on the car and the CF gets damaged, it wont be comfortable. i know that it is used on a lot of race cars and such, but they wear suits to protect them. i have gone to school for composite materials and let me tell you, i would NEVER put a CF hood on my car.
