You should make a Totl-Lite version, with the same side vents and lower hump in the middle - for the less extreme crowd 
Nice work by the way!

Yea im with the other guys. Love the side vents but not crazy about the hump in middle reminds me of something from a predator movie or aliens. I also agree a version with a lower profile middle for people without a supercharger might be a good option with a little lower price point. It almost seems as if you relly created this to fit the supercharger (might not be the case) but most of your jeep owners dont have superchargers. I do however like the black and blue jeep with that hood. Its got all the other extremes to make that thing look really good.

Accommodating the Avenger Supercharger was not the only driving force behind the height of the cowl. The vents on the cowl are approximately 2 inches in height but the channels behind them are about half the height of the vents to prevent rain from entering the engine bay.
Lowering the cowl would reduce the height of the vents which would further reduce the actual surface area through which hot air can escape. The primary focus of this hood was to make it as functional as possible which meant trying to maximize the area through which heat can escape but as always there are tradeoffs.
