Yes, it will be that blue. Son picked the color and added some extras in . Shaker will be a high  metalic sliver with 360 four barrel emblems.

I had the same idea with Dodge truck hoods.  The center "spine" works well with the shaker hood.  Definately keep us up to date with the project.  This is definately an alternative to the Challenger Rallye style hood for dodge trucks.

We've had customers buy our Cuda/Challenger kits and adapt them to hoods that were'nt originally equipped with them, so far the results have been best with hoods having the flatest surface. The ridge in the center of ours is a bit wider on Challengers and works well with allot of hood peaks, however, that trucks is two wide, something like that could be delt with by cutting our ring into two halves and adding a section to widen the gap in the front and rear centers, it could work but would take some skill.
