No, but it increases HP by 10 for each window.

OK that leaves me 2 questions...
Do the extra HP's decrease my fuel economy?
If the answer to question one is no can I get them for all my windows even the ones that are stationary and can I switch to pre 1997 doors to gain extra Windows and more HP?

Yes, you need stickers or painted calipers for that kind of performance increase.

A good question. Don't forget the cargo windows and hatch window.

One last question then I'll sign off...
Do I need racing stickers? My daughter has a book of Frozen stickers and it would save me money over buying racing stickers.
And two I have some exterior grade latex paint and I kind of like the color (it's called desert sand) can I make this work and still see noticeable gains?

Sorry guess that was two

These won't add power, per se, but would be an excellent way to keep down IAT with forced induction. They will also prevent a 0331 from cracking, or otherwise improve the engine's cooling system. Results dependent on location of stickers.

No, but if you paint that in blotches with a darker color, it will make your Jeep invisible.

Hope I've been helpful!

Thanks never thought of putting the frozen stickers on my cooling system I may just use them to cover the whole front of the radiator that should do quite a bit of good

just make sure if you tint the windshield with limo tint, make sure you black out the headlights too. Best for night driving

Looks good man. I might have to bite your idea.

I'm wanting to get these once I swap out for 97+ doors. Are they the kinda that slide into the window tracks or the ones held on with 3m?
