Key Features:

Designed to meet the demands of performance driving and aggressive styling, the AIT Racing Challenger Style Functional Cooling Hood includes:

• Constructed from high-quality fiberglass and resin for strength and lightweight performance
• Fully functional cooling vents that improve engine bay airflow and heat extraction
• Gel-coat finish on both top and bottom surfaces for easy paint preparation and long-lasting durability
• Utilizes factory hinges for straightforward installation without modification
• Includes aluminum wire mesh grill in vent openings to protect engine components while allowing airflow
• Thicker and stiffer than factory steel or aluminum hoods, enhancing rigidity and reducing flex
• Designed to complement the aggressive Challenger-inspired aesthetic
• Compatible with factory rubber stoppers, though some adjustment may be necessary for optimal fitment

Construction & Design:

The hood is expertly crafted from fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), combining fiberglass and resin to create a durable yet lightweight component. This material choice ensures enhanced stiffness compared to factory steel or aluminum hoods, providing improved structural integrity and resistance to warping. The gel-coat finish on both sides simplifies the painting process, allowing for a smooth, professional-quality finish that matches your vehicle’s color perfectly.

The functional vents are strategically placed to maximize airflow and heat extraction from the engine bay, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures during spirited driving or track use. Aluminum wire mesh grills protect the engine compartment from debris while maintaining unrestricted airflow.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is designed to be straightforward by utilizing the factory hinges, allowing for a direct bolt-on replacement of the original hood. However, due to the increased thickness and rigidity of the FRP material, some adjustments may be necessary. Rubber stoppers might require trimming or removal to ensure proper hood alignment and closure. Additionally, because factory steel or aluminum hoods can flex to match fender lines, some fender adjustment may be needed to achieve a perfect fit and seamless appearance.

It is recommended to carefully test fit and make any necessary modifications before final painting and installation to ensure optimal fitment and finish.
