Default Hood vent opinion

I just installed some hood vents and need an opinion on how they look. I bought them from Genright for $56.00. They are side hood vents for a Wrangler. Other hood vent company's wanted $149.00 to $189.00. I know there larger in size but these that I've installed did the trick in keeping the temp down 20 degrees.
Thanks for your time! Yeah I know guys the date on my camera needs to be changed! LOL

Hmm nice hood vents. They look good. I got mine from eBay and they also work well for lowering the engine temp's...Tj

I was wondering the same thing if it kept temps down. I was thinking of doing the same but in the center of the hood.

They look good! I'm the type of person that cares more about functionality vs looks. Unless of course it just looks horribly bad!

Thanks everyone for your opinion. Yes the vents do help keep the temp down some. I'm down here in Florida and driving behind the blue hairs in traffic can make it heat up quick. After about an hour and a half with only one broken sabersaw blade I was happy with the results.
