So I've been looking at the AEV vented hoods.
I have a 2012 Rubicon (red rock) but I'm thinking of getting the black vented hood. It might be awesome but still not sure how it would look.
Any thoughts?

With that said, IMHO I think on a jeep, a mismatched hood will look like you found a replacement body part and never got around to painting it. I know what you are going for, and I like it, but I think it will only work if you had a white or gray jeep.
I'm only going by my imagination here so take it with a grain of salt if you please. Plus, its YOUR jeep! Do what you want

JeepHeap, how does the line-x wash up? Does the dust/mud come off easily or do you need a brush to get it out of the texture? Does the black stay black or lighten in color with dirt? My stock fenders are always needing black magic to keep them black. Looks awesome!

IMHO it would have to be a flat or matte black NOT a shiny factory black. Only way it may work and then Please don't paint vent inserts body color... just way to matchy, matchy effort.

What is the main function/selling point that you are looking for out of a vented hood?
