Rugged Ridge hood vent scoop installed
This was an easy and inexpensive mod to do. I mainly bought it to keep leaves out of the grating, not really caring if it improved the air intake to my HVAC or not.
However as I was driving onto the freeway on a cold night after installing it, I could feel the rush of cold air at my feet. (I had it set to the floor vents and the Jeep's heater hadn't warmed up yet.) I had never felt that rush before. So it does work.

View from inside, totally not visible unless you plant your face up to the windshield.
Got it from CSEoffroad.com for $20 bucks. Like I said, it was cheap, so if I want to take it off, I can. But it blends well with the hood. I left mine black, but it could be painted to match any color.
