Replacement Hoods

Aftermarket hoods fit a few different ways. Metal performance hoods (with a cowl induction scoop for example) typically bolt on the same way as the original hood does and even use the same hood springs. A custom fiberglass or carbon fiber aftermarket hood either bolts on like the original hood or is pinned to the body using hood pins or fasteners. JEGS offers a large performance hood selection to choose one to fit your needs.

Replacement hoods, depending on the vehicle, can cost anywhere from under $100 to over $1000 to replace. Most factory hoods are made from steel. However, some can be made from fiberglass or a different material. JEGS offers many auto hoods and racing hoods to fit your needs.

The first thing to do when removing a hood scoop and to confirm how it was attached to the racing hood originally. Most scoops are either riveted or bonded onto the hood. To remove rivets, take the hood off the vehicle and then select the correct drill bit size to drill out the rivet. After drilling out the rivets, the scoop can be removed and you will then need to fill any holes and imperfections the scoop created. Finally, repaint the hood to complete the project. If the scoop is bonded onto the hood with resin or fiberglass, you will need to cut it off and then grind and sand down what remains on the hood. Finally, you will need to sand, prep, and finish the removal by repainting the hood. If you are changing the scoop, there are many JEGS hood scoops available for purchase to transform the look of your vehicle.
