Works perfectly! No hood flutter
Major PITA to latch down the first time, but it does get better
no pics, but it doesn't look much different than a stock one does

They look exactly like the stock hood latches with the Daystar logo on them, you reuse the hard plastic latch. The only thing the hood wranglers replace is the rubber in the latch. The Daystar one is made of a stronger polyurethane that works way better than the stock hood latches and even the replacement '09 latches. The '09 latches loosened up in two weeks.

The Daystars are well worth the price, I have put them on both my JKs.

you can save some money by removing the hood spring. I did this and then drove the JK up to 95 mph, and NO hood lift at all. So needless to say there isnt any flutter at 65 either.
