Under the Knife - Hood Vents

[Dukes69]

Well, I cut the sheetmetal on my TJ for the first time tonight. I didnt have any problem doing it . . . it was kinda fun. I just measured twice, cut once. Actually it was measure 10+ times, cut once . I followed this guys thread, which was very interesting to read: Hood Vents and Cooling

I didnt take any before or during pics, but here are the afters. I really like the way it turned out.













I'll try and take some daytime pics, but this is all I have for now.

Itll be interesting to see how well it works in keeping the heat down. You could fry an egg on my hood

Hey Duke, looks real good. How much did they cost? Did you get them from the dealer or somewhere else? So was it like $60+ or did you score in a junkyard? Looks really nice though.

I found them on E-bay . . . paid $41 for the Louvers and splash pans, and sold the splash pans for $20. So I made out pretty good, I think
