Hood Vent

MrJCRod · 11-04-2009, 05:31 PM

Had some free time yesterday so I was able to install some vents in my hood to help drop the underhood temps a little... Let me know what you guys think...

Nice clean install. What did you use for the mesh?

MrJCRod · 11-04-2009, 05:59 PM

Went to Lowes and picked up aluminum barbecue inserts that you cut with scissors... scuffed 'em up primed and painted them... the inserts were $6 for 2 12x24 pieces....

great mod man, beautiful xj love it

MrJCRod · 11-05-2009, 08:26 PM

Thanks guys... thought about it for quite awhile before I made my first cut and looking at it now I'm glad I did... I was unsure of how it would turn out but I think it came out pretty good... I was looking for a different look and I think I got it...
