You used NOS and blew the scoop apart.

Owwww! I feel your pain!
I thought the hoods were one-piece.
Any ET improvements during testing before it happened as some consolation?

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....

Tom Gaynors DP did the same thing @ Pamona.

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...

Jim,
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???

Mack, I had a similar problem.....it got repaired, reinforced, painted again(3rd time for the hood I think)......which I thought was going to be the risk-free black hood thing instead of painted like yours.....NOT!

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..
