Thought about those too at one time. Found a good deal on some Lebaron hood vents a while back. Had them in for about a week, shut hood one day after checking fluids and one completely shattered, the other cracked pretty good. Turns out they were VERY dry and brittle. So, I already have holes for the Lebaron vents...lol

So yours are off of a 1998 Grand 5.9, are these pretty common for that year?
Thanks,
Lydia

No. Tough to find and expensive when you do. They only came on the 1998 5.9 Magnum Grand Cherokee. That is it. The one model. The one year. And if you find the whole Jeep with the hood and louvers chances are they will not separate it. This guys ad has been running for months. Who knows if he still even has the hood and like I said can't see him separating the pieces if he does.

So here are some that appear to be available. Figures I would find 3 available just after typing what I did. But pricing is a little high if you ask me. Note the damage in the second one.

If you go this route I have a template and info on the install that other people who did this before me were nice enough to help with. Send me a PM if you would like it. I gave all the necessary info to my body man who did it for me.

Wow, these things have gone through the roof! I remember when people were selling them for $30-40. I can see why, I am at the yards a lot and do not see any at all.

I have how ever found a single larger Le baron hood vent that was on the drivers side only.
