Wouldn't this hold water between the hood and louver, creating a corrosion issue?@Chris , are you going to actually cut the hood and vent it, or just put the louver ontop without actually cutting the vent holes?

Everyone i have seen in person looks the same. Some logos more obnoxious than others. Really wish i didnt have stupid spyders all over my jeep!
maybe, I'm used to down here in TX, water under matt black anything isn't going to stay there for long, and if you run the jeep the hood would probably get hot enough to encourage evaporation. plus the hood is painted too, and I don't expect the edges of the plate to be watertight, so I imagine it would just flow down off the hood, you might get a little water stuck at the edge, but I don't think it would be enough to cause a real problem.Wouldn't this hold water between the hood and louver, creating a corrosion issue?
I want to say genright has a bunch more facing forward compared to PS. @rasband can you show us your genright one?For some reason I do wish all the vents faced the same way rather than the ones closest to the windshield opening forward, hell I'd be happy if those six vents were not there at all.
His genright one looks great in his videos.I want to say genright has a bunch more facing forward compared to PS. @rasband can you show us your genright one?

Well well well. @Chris going for a hood louver!
My louver came from Amazon. From many reviews I believe it is made at same place as the poison spyder louver without the logo. It black powder coated and aluminum. They make two versions to accommodate the different years that have one washer nozzle or two.

I have paint damage on mine and just couldn't get up the nerve to cut my hood. I went the easy route this morning.

I never had any issues on my previous flame red hood. Paint was in phenomenal shape for being 21 years old. My replacement spent its years on the western slope and is another story; cracked and chipped paint everywhere
I used to wax my jeep a couple times a year. Maybe that i why it was in such amazing shape. I was pissed at myself for butchering it with the high lines.interesting.
I don't have a lot of data. My dad always told me growing up that red paint didn't take to the sun as well as other colors, and between my 1999 Forest Green Pearl which has glaring signs of poor treatment and the 2006 Flame Red with an engine quieter than my wife's Toyota, the red one has tons of little tiny cracks and the green one has none. Maybe I just have one Jeep that got garaged while it went 10k miles between oil changes and another that got meticulously maintained while spending it's days outside.
