How many thousands of dollars did it cost you to get it installed?
Nice by the way![Thumb](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb.gif)

The cost was $450 out the door of the paint shop. This included some fiberglass work , nothing like Brians :bang: , and installing the hood pins.
Dave ,
Yes let me know next time you set up a get-together and I'll try to show up ...

1. All 4 sides /edges were wavy - had to be straightened
2. The hood itself was very wavy.
3. Each corder was so rounded off, they had to be rebuilt
Now, this last one was a personal option that did not have to be done, but I optioned for it.
1. The grill inside the scoops was crap along with the fiberlgass work around it. So, I had them cut it off, remove their grill, smooth the edges and replace it with a stainless insert.

Now, this was my experience. I think that RKSport, per this board and emails to others, made good and fixed these issues. You might want to ask around - but others seems to have better luck on future products than mine.

Bryan, your car is looking real good. Did you notice a difference in acceleration once you put the ram air hood on?
And any news on a TMS calendar? It would be hard picking out 12 cars from this site, but we could all vote. I think it would be cool, and I'd definitely pay 10-15 bucks for it.

I could not get up to a fast speed. Why ? ...
Hood shake. I have had hood pins installed along with the Reddline hood lifts. As soon as they fix the hood (yes again in the shop) I will get some photos and such.
