I'll have to get the number from home. I'll put up a WWW page with all
the info (picture, etc) on it ASAP, but it'll probably be Monday before
it'll be up. I'll post the phone # here before then.

As for how it looks, it really doesn't look like the mustang's hood.
That was just the only example that I could think of a hood that had two
"nostril" style small air intakes on the hood. I've seen pictures of
this hood on 2 dakotas and 2 durangos and they all looked great in my
oppinion. The holes on the dak hood are in the center of the hood
toward the front rather than on the sides next to the windshield like
the plain ole mustang's.

If you have a FIPK clone, etc. then this will work great. I'll include
a photo showing the setup that I saw that made the whole thing become
"ram air". Sorry I can't get it all to you now, but my scanner and
stuff is here at work and my magazine and info is at home.
