I have decided I do NOT want to cut my current hood and install louvers.
But I need a good heat reduction hood. There are a number of options: AEV, 10A, Rigged Ridge, etc.
I'd like to hear from JK owners that have used these and hear about pros, cons, effectiveness, fit, cost, etc.
Thanks!

I have an AEV hood with a 5.7 Hemi conversion. Works as advertised. No temp issues whatsoever. I think it is a nice looking hood. It is kind of heavy if that is concern for you. It is possible to install it yourself though. I did consider the TMD hood. I am happy with it.

The 10A/Hard Rock hoods do actually have the holes cut out, but come stock with plastic covers. You can remove them to vent from the hood.
Smittybilt has a copy of the hood and looks good from the pictures. They say it is also functional.
