Default Hood Fins?


Rather than hijack someones 'rant' thread, thought I'd ask here. Curious what the two 'fins' on the hood are for? Just decorative? To channel airflow around the hi lift? (or is that an M-60 in the case...) Some other function?

Hahaha that is just for decorative use. I saw his post a few months ago when he put them on and it had mixed reviews. I think they are BA and a cool idea.

didnt even see those until now. i would have assumed that they were for when the hood was leaning on the windshield. but then again they look like they are way too low to even get close. looks pretty cool imo. he should get one on the roof hehe.

that is crash's jeep. He has one of the most creative jeeps on here. Don't let the custom cosmetics fool you... he wheels that jeep HARD. A+ for individuality IMO.

drill them, windshield washer nozzle too high problem solved, if he'd route them up through there, you could wash gallons of mud off the windshield

I thought I was the only person who had a windshield washer that only cleans my hard top?

The fins are to look pretty, but I don't care for them.
