I need to put on my big boy pants and cut my hood already, been thinking about it for a couple years now, that pentastar v6 runs hot.

Been seriously thinking about installing them on my Jeep Hemi... talk about running hot! Try stupid hot!!

Because you have a long user name. So I figured you had to be short.

That’s actually why I haven’t done the poison spider hood vent mod yet, I could get better resale on a stock oem painted hood. The aev is over $800

but it’s a quality piece, probably the most well thought out functional vented jk hood out there.

Sh1t, now you’ve got me thinking about getting that aev hood again. I guess I know which way I’m gonna go…

Jeep XK 4x4... bought it new years ago... it just keeps going and going and still looks like new. But the bay gets extremely hot. I already have a 180* thermostat (stock is 203) and installed a transmission cooler. They really help keep the temps in control (or at least what I feel is in control). But in stop n "stall" traffic, I really could use those vents. Oh, and my heated seats are for sale... any takers for those useless POSs here in FL?

Honestly, I should have gotten a huge discount agreeing to buy a car in FL with heated seats.

Someone got money to burn. Better yet. Use that OSB for target practice.

Happy to report my temps have dropped about 20*.

Took a drive in stop and go traffic it was about 100* out with about +65% humidity absolutely miserable and my water temps never went past 205*. Normally i'd be around 220-225 sitting in traffic even on a cool night.

Curious how much you cut the inner skin? I can see it at some angles and it kind of looks like sh!t, but i'm afraid to weaken the hood if i cut it more.

Also the rivets suck a$$. they kept breaking on me did you guys have that problem?

Did you use any kind of sealant or double side stick tape? I thought about it after the fact when i washed it saw how much water collected between the frame of the vents.

Thanks again
TW
