Sport hood for my Laramie

[ItsDaveR]

I have a 2022 Laramie sport. It came from the dealership with the sport hood delete option. I really like the look of those hoods. Was curious if anyone has swapped theirs. I called the dealership here and they want $1000 just to order it. No plastic trim, no paint, no installation. By the time I get it all done…it’s going to be crazy expensive.

I saw this one on BMC but I don’t know anything about them. 2019-2022 Ram 1500 Rebel Hood by MOPAR (fits all 1500 models except Classic)

Post your desire to swap hoods in the Buy, Sell, Trade section. I've seen a few guys find someone that wanted to swap.

There have been several threads with the OP wanting to swap their sport hoods for non-sport hoods. The trick will be finding someone wanting to swap, with the same color truck, within driving distance. Good luck with your search.

May not be for you, but just throwing out what I did instead of changing out the whole hood. I'm super happy with how it turned out for a fraction of what a new hood would cost. And, one thing I love about it is how you can see it when you're in the truck.

Is this what you meant? Otherwise, I don't understand.

I corrected probably about the same time you posted.

This would be the perfect opportunity to try out the TRX style hood this company has...

Their name and website look a little sketchy...... I doubt I would buy from them.

True.. I was trying to find this other vendor I saw with the same hood. They had actual pictures of it but I cant find them all of a sudden... Will post it here if I come across it again.

EDIT: Found it LOL! Its on American Trucks. I bought a lot of stuff from their sister company, Extreme Terrain, when I used to have my Jeep.

I wish Ram would actually produce the hood they have on the “Low Down” concept truck, or at least something like the SRT-10 hood. I had a SRT-10 hood on my 2006 Ram 2500 and loved the look. They actually filed for a patent for the hood on the “Low Down”, but never produced it. I know there are a lot of fiberglass hoods on the market, but I’d rather have a metal hood.

That looks pretty awesome! I might actually go that route. How does it attach. I’m assuming you had to have it color matched?

Not bad. Same price the dealer wanted for a stock unpainted hood without plastics trim.

Thanks. Honestly, I think it turned out better than I expected. I've had other people that own a 5th gen Ram ask me if it came with the Backcountry package on my truck. I bought it from American Trucks. Air Design RAM 1500 Hood Scoop; Unpainted CH07A01PR (19-22 RAM 1500, Excluding Rebel & TRX) - Free Shipping

I had my local body shop paint it along with my flares and factory tow hooks that came on the truck. Install was super easy. It has double sided 3M tape on it and it comes with a tube of polyurethane adhesive that goes in a caulk gun. Sounds kind of scary to do...but it ended up being extremely easy. You dry fit it and mark where it goes with a grease pencil that comes with it. Then, it takes two people to set it in place. Of course, a body shop could easily install it for you too. The link to American Trucks has a customer photo with it on a white Ram. And, it's on sale right now.

Guess I can't blame you for that LOL. If you're really interested in a swap you might want to make a thread in the buy/sell/trade forum...
