You can make tons of vents and such workout. I got 2 marine vents for boats for like 18 bucks.

Custom louvered my factory hood. It does well and is different. I like that it is subtle.

not any issues with water. I even took out the pad inside the hood. And the nozzle hole was already there just make sure you order the right year/model.

Mine is a'13 and have had it on since September and have taken it through many car washes with zero problems/issues with rain or water. It also came with two nozzle placements.

Thanks, Skywgn1. Good to know. Living n FL anything that will help with under hood temperatures is a plus. I believe '13 was the first year for dual nozzles. Looks good.

Anyone know if it had a negative effect on engine temperatures by allowing less air through the radiator or just reduced intake temperatures?

There are quite a few of the PS hood vents in this area, and in an effort to not just follow the pack I chose the Rugged Ridge hood vent. Good quality and straight forward installation.
