Wow that price is steep. Why not add a PSC hood louver for a third of the price? It will allow heat to escape easier and looks better IMO.

Isn't the hood louver like $100?

I have the PSC. It was a little more because I had it sprayed black. It was still only like 130 if I remember correctly. I'm putting on this weekend. I'll put up some pics.

Well also my thinking was that it keeps water out of the engine as well.

The PSC one doesn't have an opening directly over your intake...

As long as your intake is not open to all of the elements, water will not bother your engine.

Wow that's a lot of cash for the TMD hood.
I have the PSC hood louver and the Ripp SC. Works great and does allow a lot of heat to escape. You can try to find something that allows you to pull directly from fresh air, but it's going to lost likely restrict the air flow into the Ripp.

That's how I feel about it too. However, I haven't seen it in person on a Jeep yet.

If I remember correctly, Moby and Rubicat have normal hoods, nothing special to release heat. Is there really a need to let the heat off through openings in the hood if Eddie doesn't need anything for those?

True.... going to keep stock hood. will add inner fender vents to add some air flow.

I had a RIPP SC on my 2009 JKU and it was mostly the intercooler blocking the airflow that caused the heat to build up. I also tried with the Poison Spyder Hood louvre, but it didn't do much difference. I even tried with the Spal fan which has more air flowing through, but it would still overheat.

Now see this is how I know I am the weird one around here.
Really don't care for the PSC hood vent and love the Evo One!
However I have seen at least two different types of grill used.
One looks like screen and the other looked like mill cut lines,
Remember it sits flat on the hood and you would not really see it much unless you are looking down from above at it.
