Opinions-I know you got 'em!
Thinking of these hood vents or the Poison Spyder. Thoughts?
Also, anyone have this rack installed in the cargo area? Fit good? How did you mount it? I saw another member bought the Northern rack for his interior over the cargo area and it looked pretty sweet.

Yeah, I like the 10A resemblance too. I'm also paranoid about too much venting with concerns of water intrusion. Seems everyone states and claims the PS vent doesn't lend to water damage, but it still makes me nervous. With the smaller vents, I can at least place them in the least potentially harmful place.

I'd be more concerned the center vent pictured above would actually reduce cooling on the highway. The inlet is right in the middle of the high pressure area in front of the windshield.
Air flowing into the engine bay from there will mean less air flowing through the grill.

I recently saw these vents on the forum, a member here installed some recently...what did you do to your JK today thread. They looked pretty good. My only problem with them is the price. Seems awfully expensive for what appears to be plastic?? By the time you bought the two side vents and the center vent, you'd be around $210 which is 60 or so dollars more than the PSC which is at least aluminum. Even the two side vents alone would be really close to the price of the PSC.
I don't know, the jury is still out til more pics show up

The PSC louver looks much better than those plastic things. I've had one installed for a couple years and have been through too many southern rain storms to count with zero issues. It's not like the engine compartment is sealed to begin with.

I have the Bestop rack in my Jeep and am pleased with it. Bought it on Craigslist for $25. The mounts were for a tj so I had to do some modifications to fit the JKU.

I have the PSC louvers. I like how they look, and they do help dump some heat.
I live in SoCal, so not much rain, but when it does get wet, I don't think it hurts anything.
