I taped it off so as not to scrape the paint.
did this make a difference on your jeep cooling wise? Bc mine runs kinda hot when its mid 90s and higher around here.

Those are not what he is doing. We've and the Lebaron vents we want to see his scoops. Read a little more and you'd know why we are excited! about it. But I know, reading is hard.

Ok, stalkers... They're on! Came out real good and man, do they throw some heat. You can feel the hot air pushing out of them fast at idle and it's very strong after you shut the Jeep off as well. Pics!

Yeah, you can see the heat coming out of it. I can't attribute it specifically to the hood vents because around the same time I put in a tranny cooler, but my engine temp has come down probably 5 degrees. I live in North Carolina and it is hotter than a butthole right now so I know it helps.
