I had the same situation. I first ordered mopar but no holes so sent back. Then ordered aev from quadratech. It cost 1080 shipped and primed. Easy to install. Thing is I'm a painter so that was cheap but. Don't pay more than 400 unless it's red rock Fit is great Find a good paint less dent repair shop to fix the cowl thats cheap also. Good luck

Quadratec shipped mine for $75, ask Joe he's a vendor here. Had mine painted at a local shop.

Thanks for mentioning this about the MW3 hood. I'm sure the part number I had the dealer order does have the vents and is not the MW3.

The hood is installed. I'm still waiting on the replacement Rubicon stickers because the shop ordered the wrong color. So here is the new vented heat reduction hood (sorry its a lame garage shot, if you want more just ask)...

I want to post my original hail damaged hood for sale on the jk-forum classifieds but I don't have the minimum 50 posts. So I'll be working on that. What do you think would be a fair asking price for it? I'm thinking $75 since someone would have to do a lot of PDR to it. What else could an old hood be used for besides scrap metal?

That hood looks sick.... It's on my list of mods... Does anyone know of any place to get it for cheaper than 799 primed ?
