Put on my AEV Hood
OK.....After about 2-3 months in the powder coating shop, it was finally my hoods turn for some attention. It was not easy to find a shop that could or would powdercoat and paint on the same piece of metal. The section at the front of the hood and the hood buldge were powder coated to match the color and texture of the AEV bumper. The "RUBICON" and "JK" decals were another whole story but....finally found a shop that would cut a textured sandpaper type decal for me. Apparently very few companies do this as well since the sandpaper and blades don't seem to get along. I also managed to take time away during my business trip in Europe and bought several of the foam rubber pieces in the last pic. In the last pic that is NOT my jeep...I wish I had a Diesel but it shows the part I attached to my air box. I was not able to get my Jeep dealership to order these and I really wanted one since they close off the air intake from getting any hot engine compartment air and it only breaths through the cut out in the AEV hood. O' I did take off the "wrangler" stickers but it was late last night so I did not take any pictures
So what do you think??
