Was thinking of getting a AEV hood and saw that Jeep sell a similar one to the AEV, except that there's no vent (option on the MW3 in Canada). So went to Jeep and looked at the prices:
o picture 2: MW3 Wrangler hood is 800$ in the US and 2000$ in Canada (at jeep dealer)!!!!!
o picture 1: AEV Wrangler hood is about 800$ in US and 1000$ in Canada.
The prices at the dealer are ridiculous, and at 2000$ the painting and shipping (from the US) is not include. Also the MW3 hood doesn't have the top and side vents.

Is it worth $200-$250 maybe depends on your needs for me it made a HUGE difference in temps and noise so I'm happy I wish it came with the sides like the other company.
Pros
Great quality, precision cut, adhesive, quiet, reduces temps a lot from topside, looks better than a big white inside roof (more factory).
Cons
Stinks (only for a couple days), no side pieces for around side windows, pricey
Note: as far as stinks yes all materials that I'm aware like this foam smell bad at first but air out and usually takes a day or 2, mine you don't notice the smell anymore its been 5 days and smells great now.
Yes it works and works well, it is a huge upgrade for comfort with heat and noise. I'm a performance and build kind of person so doing a creature comfort item for me is hard to make happen sell but glad I did.

Nope, its a solid hood with absolutely no vents. Not even a fake vent.
