Defenitely a great mod. Best part is that it is functional.
The only critique I have is the color of the rivets should be painted black. I think the silver in the rivets looks tacky for some reason...Just a personal opinion.

Bob from Runcool sent me both the stainless and black rivets. I was going to do the black but the rivets still have the silver rivet pin. Plus I figured the paint would chip or wear off them then look like crap.
I wanted the biggest louvers I could comfortably fit with the stock hood and the 6.1 Hemi. A lot of function is lost by the hood supports so the more louver the better. I may still go back and carefully remove more bracing. Harder to do now that they are on though.

You did a great job with this! I really like it a lot. I'm sure I'll be doing this to mine here in the near future. I like that you did it yourself and you don't have to pay close to 800 bucks to get a different look and it's functional. Thanks for the write-up
