Hey, if my input it too much, just let me know- lol. Honestly, I think it would great. The painted headlights can really go with almost any bumper. They just add to the retro look in my opinion.

Haha nah it's cool man I hear ya
.. I just go back and forth between performance and looks. **** is jus so **** expensive and I wanna make sure it looks right too if I spend the money .. cervinis now has the type 4 hood with the louvers and drip pan that im very interested in because it comes pre painted...

I wanted ported heads too but that's a whole other ordeal .. I gotta save money too I can't throw down too much money on the car

I hear that. You already have a good amount of performance parts, and swapping out heads is a fairly large project. I always hate worrying about the heads sealing again on a daily driven car. Cervinis stuff is nice, but expensive. Trufiber hoods are just as nice, and much more affordable. I wouldn't bother with any side louvers except for the SHR flush mount ones, OR the Astra Hammond ones when they're modified. All the other ones don't look good to me, and they are way common too; more common than the GT/CS bumper for sure.

The TF hood I was getting was $400 picked up, and I was quoted $300 to paint it; color and clear. If Cervinis is cheaper than that, go for it.

05-09 Type IV Ram Air Hood with Louvers
Part # 1187-4352
Price: $559.00




I like the fact that this hood comes with drip pans and also has the pre paint option.. plus this with the pj bumper.. would look sick

It looks like a KR hood. That hood with the PJ bumper would look nice. The PJ bumper always reminded me of the GT500 bumper without the added angles. The Bullitt grille or a Shelby Billet grille would be spot on. Happy customizing!
