Default AEV Hood
After waiting for 11 weeks my new AEV hood will be delivered today. Does anyone know how hard it will be to install? I will have pictures as soon as get it installed. I can't wait!

I've never installed this particular hood but I've done other hoods on other vehicles, and its all about taking your time an getting it lined up.

Shouldn't be that big of a deal. Good luck!

Looking at your avitar, I really like the looks of that hood. How is it in the winter? do you get lots of snow under the hood? Great colour choice by the way.

Not really . You would get just as much snow blowing up from under the jeep. Gets rid of allot of heat in the summer.
