Construction & Design

The Amerihood Functional Ram Air Hood is crafted using hand-laid fiberglass combined with high-quality resin, ensuring a lightweight yet durable construction that withstands the rigors of daily driving and performance use. The integrated ram air tunnel is expertly molded into the hood to optimize airflow, enhancing engine breathing and potentially improving throttle response when paired with compatible intake systems.

The gel coat finish applied to both the exterior and interior surfaces not only provides a smooth base for painting but also helps reduce prep time, allowing for a cleaner, more professional finish. The hood is engineered to fit precisely using the vehicle’s original hinges and latch, preserving factory alignment and ease of installation.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Amerihood Functional Ram Air Hood is designed to be straightforward by utilizing the factory hinges and striker. However, this hood is not a simple bolt-on part and requires careful dry fitting before any painting or finishing work.

This hood fits Dodge Ram 2500 trucks from 2002 through 2010 and Ram 2500 models from 2011 through 2018, making it a versatile upgrade for a wide range of Ram owners seeking improved performance and style.
