hands down, the aev hood is not only one of the nicest looking hoods out there but, being stamped steel, one of the nicest made. that's what i would get if i had the chance.

I have AVE hood with vents. And I like it a lot glad I got it. Looks n works great. It also stop the hood from blowing up when passing big trucks on highway like your hood about to blow off.

Also have the aev. I 2 toned my paint. Rescue green on matte black. Sitting at red lights and see all that heat come from the vents is always a good thing too. The aev snorkel is also not overly time consuming to install and take off so you dot have to run a snorkel all the time only when needed. Gotta love seeing other jeep owners turn heads too.

The short answer : Nothing will compare the quality, fit & finish as well as the longevity of the AEV hood.
a) the TMD Hood is over 1,000 $ while AEV (unpainted) is under 800 $
b) AEV hood is made of stamped steel that is of heavier gauge than OEM
c) TMD Hood is made of ABS / Plastic
d) Jeep endorses AEV hoods and accessories as OEM on limited edition Jeeps (That's how good they are)
e) TMD Hood fits is a pita to fit properly (if you do at all)
