You used NOS and blew the scoop apart.

Re: Problem @ Orlando Speed World
Owwww! I feel your pain!
I thought the hoods were one-piece. Any ET improvements during testing before it happened as some consolation? |

Re: Problem @ Orlando Speed World
This was the first pass since the Gators so I really don't know any more than when I got there..... Except my pocketbook will be lighter when I get it all repaired....

Re: Problem @ Orlando Speed World
WOW Mack! Did it just fly off at speed? I also thought the hoods were one piece. The scoop looks like it was glued on! Any other damage to the paint any where else? Jim

I know that David Workman (New Hemi) had the same problem I think it was in Vegas...

Check out the link Mack has in the first post. Shows the rest of the damage. So, based on percentages, will Chrysler issue a recall or at least a TSB??? |

Now we know why the 2011 are a stock aluminum hood.....too bad they didn't do the DP with a real hood with a metal hood scoop and gasp hood hinges! The wind risk when the hood is on the roof is stressful. Good luck Eric

Thanks Eric.... Plan to get in touch with my painter on Tuesday and see what his schedule is... I also voiced my opinion on these hoods before mine even got on the track... So will get it fixed and hopefully right this time....... I would love to have a stock hood with the hinges and all..... But we play the hand we have..
