AEV hood vs cut hood
- Thread starter Powdermonkey

OP
This is the carbon fiber hood that Genright is now using? I was told an old AEV guy is making them and they’re a much better hood than the duraflex ones.
I think that's the "Unofficial Use Only" one. Yeah I haven't heard anyone that's ordered one.
OP
They’re for sale one the Genright website. They have also already used them on customer builds.
It be great if the old AEV guy added fenders and flares (not the too wide ones) as a kit........
OP
You and me both!
I’m going to hold out for a while before giving in to the tube fenders.
WOW, $1200.00 for a hood !!!
I agree with the op, cut the stock one.
The whole AEV HighLine kit was only $1900.00

Well I appreciate the honesty. Paint obviously not a problem, bent metal probably not.
When you posted your hood I tried to find a build thread but was unsuccessful. Didn’t fell right DMing you to ask.

AEV Non Highline hood on my silver TJR. Has been in storage for a few.
No cross member on the Non Highline hoods.
The Highline hoods are 14 guage steel and do not need the extra center cross member.

Very cool! That is the first non highline I’ve seen. You must of bought it straight from AEV back in the day?
I’ve seen a couple on Jeeps for sale, never seen the hood for sale though, I’d love one one day but probably have to offer crazy money to get one from someone hah

Yes I did, I really loved the look of the hoods and the Jeeps that AEV were selling. Not to mention the Brute.
