Reviews for Daystar KJ71048BK Side Hood Vents for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
I love the look these vents give the hood and jeep. They are functional vents to relieve the high under hood temps.
Gift
Definitely need a second hand with install. Nibbler made it easy. Lining up the screws, gasket, holes, and vent all at once was the hardest part of the install. Overall happy with looks and functionality.
Super easy but have proper tools. I purchased an air nibbler from harbor freight 30 bucks. Took minutes to slice out slots. You need to pay attention to detail when cutting. To much is bad. And to little can be a pain. But took me 3 hours on my own. And they are very sharp. CAUTION just snug these bolts! A lil more can easily be a little to much.
Great product. Install is a bit time consuming so allow a few hrs. Get a good quality air grinder or something similar with a small round grinding wheel for getting in the rounded cornering and curved sections and make sure you have a good pin punch as there isn't much room between the opening and bolt holes for drill wander. All up still look great and do a awesome job of reducing heat under bonnet.
Good instructions for install, also watched the video. With the black out vinyl I purchased separately they look really good.
It took me a little longer than three hours and you definitely need a second set of hands. Once installed this is a great functioning product and even looks better. Would highly recommend it for relief of heat build up.
