    For those who have successfully done the swap, has there been any fitment issues between the two hoods as well as alignment on the front grille edge? I'm about to do this this weekend. Info on 12+ is appreciated.

    I did not have any problems when swapping, both are 2014"s. I did buy two 1" long allen screws that fit the bolt holes on the hood Put one in each sides lower bolt hole in the hood to keep it from shifting back into the windshield in case we lost grip while removing the other bolt, was handy to keep the hood from moving when installing too. Also have a place ready for the first hood. I had two sawhorses set up ready for it. Un-plug the washer hose and your ready to go.

    ^^ Looks like you went from scoop to non-scoop. Any pics of the finished product?

    Scoop to no scoop. Just never cared for the look.

    Thanks Brad, looks like a direct fit. What did you do with your scooped hood?
