• Functional ram air scoop directs cold intake air to improve engine efficiency
• Inspired by the Dodge Charger SRT factory hood for authentic styling
• Compatible with major aftermarket air intake systems like Airaid and K&N
• Utilizes factory hinges and striker for straightforward installation
• Gel coat finish on both top and underside for easier paint prep and a smooth finish
• Hand-laid high-quality fiberglass and resin construction for durability
• Built-in functional ram air tunnel with no additional charges

• Requires hand-finishing for paint prep and fitment to ensure perfect alignment

Construction & Design

The Amerihood RS hood is crafted from premium hand-laid fiberglass and resin, ensuring a strong yet lightweight structure. The gel coat finish applied to both the exterior and interior surfaces simplifies the painting process and reduces prep time. The integrated ram air tunnel is molded into the hood, providing a seamless and functional air intake path without compromising structural integrity.

Designed to fit precisely using the factory hinges and latch, this hood maintains the original fitment points, which helps preserve factory alignment and reduces installation complexity. The inclusion of aluminum wire mesh grill inserts adds a refined touch while protecting the intake opening from debris.

Installation & Fitment

The Amerihood RS Functional Ram Air Hood is designed for direct replacement on 2011–2014 Dodge Charger models. Installation utilizes the vehicle’s original hinges and latch, allowing for a secure and factory-like fit. However, this hood requires careful dry fitting prior to painting and final installation to ensure proper alignment and finish.

Because of its hand-laid fiberglass construction and gel coat finish, some hand-finishing work is necessary during paint prep and fitment. This is not a simple bolt-on part and is best suited for installers with experience in custom bodywork or professional paint preparation.

What's Included

• Amerihood RS Functional Ram Air Hood
