Anybody have one of these and not like it?

 

I have one of the first ones, and it heat warped really bad. When I went to the all breeds Jeep show, I talked to the guy from Daystar. He came out, and looked at it. He said the first ones got out of the factory without reinforcing ribs on the underside. This one has two BIG spots were it sinks in, and they hold water. I haven't decided if I want to paint or wrap the new one they sent me free. I might just buck up, and buy a real hood. I do really like the way it looks on the JK though. I wish they would have helped with the repainting since it was their mistake. I don't even know if the new one will warp or not. Plus when it rains, dirt & dust come out from under it on the front of the hood. If your Jeep is Mall rated, and you like it spotless - this could be an issue.

 

I have a newer cowl and the warping issue is still a problem,pile of crap.
Depending on outside and engine tempatures this thing warps and twists like crazy.
Recently bought a poison Spyder and although it isn't aggressive looking (flat) it is a way better product and reduces engine temp much better.

 

I have one and really like it, I have had not had any issues with mine.

 

Does the Poison Spyder Hood vents cover the hole I cut for the daystar hood cowl? If I have to buy a hood, I might as well buy one that already has vents. It is a shame, because I really like the look of the cowl.

 

Here is the template for cutting, I'm not familiar with the daystar cut pattern but you can check it out
