Key Features:

This functional cooling hood offers a range of benefits that make it a standout upgrade for Dodge Charger owners:

• Constructed from high-quality fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) for strength and durability
• Fully functional vents designed to improve airflow and reduce under-hood temperatures
• Gel-coat finish on both top and bottom surfaces for easy preparation and painting
• Utilizes factory hinges for straightforward installation without modification
• Includes aluminum wire mesh grill in vent openings for added protection and style
• Thicker and stiffer than factory steel or aluminum hoods, enhancing rigidity
• Compatible with factory rubber stoppers, though adjustments may be necessary for optimal fitment
• Designed to complement the aggressive SRT styling cues of Dodge performance models

Construction & Design:

The hood is expertly crafted from fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. The FRP construction results in a hood that is thicker and more rigid than the factory steel or aluminum counterpart, providing enhanced durability and a solid feel. The gel-coat finish on both sides ensures a smooth surface that is ready for custom paint applications, allowing you to seamlessly match or accent your vehicle’s color scheme.

Functional vents are integrated into the design to facilitate improved engine bay cooling, which can help maintain optimal operating temperatures during spirited driving or track use. The vents are protected by an aluminum wire mesh grill, preventing debris from entering while maintaining airflow.

Installation & Fitment:

The AIT Racing SRT Style Functional Cooling Hood is designed to fit the 2006–2010 Dodge Charger using the factory hinge mounts, making installation straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills. However, due to the increased thickness and rigidity of the FRP material compared to the factory hood, some adjustments may be required. Rubber stoppers might need trimming or removal to ensure proper hood alignment and secure closure.

Additionally, because FRP hoods do not flex like factory steel or aluminum hoods, slight fender alignment adjustments may be necessary to achieve a perfect fit, especially if one fender is lower than the other. It is recommended to carefully test fit and make any needed modifications before final installation and painting.
