    I dunno...I don't mind the hood scoop that much as long as its painted the same color as the car... but I really hate the Punisher. What is the fascination with folks sticking emblems on their cars of this dreary Marvel character?

    Try this, I have a rt plus with a non functional hood scoops. I remove the scoops and with a jig saw I cut the botton part 1/8 of an inch. Now they are funtional, for free

    Here is what I did. I took an old vaccum hose, stuffed it through the whole in the hood where the covers were, took the air filter box out and ran the hose right into the Plastic air input and clamped er up! Now I have cold forced air all the time, can really feel the difference.

    Cervini's has hoods and hood scoops for your year. You may try there first.

    Hi I have a 13 Challenger RT and I bought a set of the functioning hood scoops off eBay and the bought the ram air hood kit from Cervinis. Made a big difference! By the way my wife also bought me a ram air hood kit from Cervinis so I have 2. I’m selling the 2nd if anyone is interested. Thanks!
