Is it the hood louvers or are you missing a lot of under-the-hood insulation right there?

Ahhhhh you caught me! :oops:

The louvers are fake.... I cut a big heart in the insulation and painted it red! :goink:

To add - Yes, functional hood louvers really do work.

Chris, you should get a CAI route directed from those hood scoops to your air box...that would make your KJ better than Toms :2cents:

boy I'm going to get flamed on that one from Tom :ROTFL:

Awesome Pic! I'm thinking of buying the Louvers for my Renny. I was wondering...does any water seep into the engine area while parked or while driving. I'm just wondering if I would do any damage to anything under my hood.

That been discussed a LOT before
engine may get some moisture but nothing that it will hurt, engines get wet all of the time. My louvers have been on over 2 years maybe close to 3 now and no problems at all

What did you use to fasten down the louvers with?

The RunCool ones like in the above pic(I also have them) are 42 holes each(which includes the one big hole),I opted to use stainless button head bolts instead of rivets,better fit.
