Hood-- Need One!

Folks, I just took delivery of my latest Cummins Dodge, this is the fourth Cummins for me and I hope this one stays around a long time. Got to this 2007.5 3500 DRW in a strange way. I actually had traded my 2001.5 3500 DRW for a 2008 F-450. The only reason I did this was I had purchased a new Lance 1181 camper and I thought I really needed the extra pay-load of the Ford which is almost 5,900 lbs in 4X4 as compared to the 3,200 lb pay-load of my 01 Dodge. Well folks I am here to tell you that Ford is full of crap about that pay-load. That Lance camper at 4,029 lbs dry put that ford on the ground, the trailer hitch was almost dragging the ground. So I returned to Dodge in a hell of a hurry as the Ford only had 2,250 miles on it when I got rid of the thing.

The new Dodge however was a real trying experiance. The truck I got was supposed to be Black which was one of the only colors I was going to accept. It had to be a 6 speed manuel and meet CA emmisions. Dealer found me the truck in Oregon and that was not easy as very few 6 speeds are out there new and 2007's. Trouble was the truck wasn't Black it's that damn Silver. I didn't know this until I went to pick it up after all of the paper work etc was already done and my trade in ( the Ford) was gone. I cut a deal with the dealer (kinda) to personize that silly Silver color. I am going to install a different hood and do some Stripes on this truck. Trouble is which Hood? Dodge has some of the Hoods from the V10 RT or what ever that was, but I'm not sure about that look. There are a couple of after market Co's making Hoods some of these have pretty good looking Double scoops. So the question I have do any of you guys have a line on any of these Hoods? Does anyone actually have one installed so that I may see a picture or two? Any help would be great! Thannks guys.
