PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Poison Spyder Hood Louver helps keep your engine running cool by promoting airflow through the engine compartment. Many factors can contribute to high under-hood temperatures, which can translate to higher engine coolant temperatures and overheating. Headers, slow speeds, flex fans, and the cramped spaces of the engine compartment can all contribute to increased heat and reduced airflow. This Hood Louver kit frees up airflow through the engine compartment, allowing hot air to escape and cooler air to be drawn in through the radiator, improving cooling of both the engine coolant and under-hood air. Rock-crawlers and slow-moving vehicles are especially susceptible, as slower speeds naturally result in reduced airflow. Poison Spyder Hood Louvers are crafted from quality, thick gauge aluminum sheet. They are CNC laser-cut and precision die-stamped. Aluminum makes the hood louver both light weight and corrosion resistant. But its thick enough to add some rigidity to the Jeep's notoriously thin sheet metal hood, helping to reduce "hood wobble" at speeds. Hood Louvers are fairly easy to install but do require some drilling and cutting of your hood. Stainless steel fasteners are supplied, as well as a full-size template with instructions for cutting the airflow holes in the hood.

For CJ Jeepers, it's a MUST have
Looks cool, even helps get some of the heat out of the engine bay! Will never own a Jeep which doesn't have one.

Easy install with the right tools. Best to remove your hood and don’t lose the bolts

“Ultim-8” the FJ40
It’s well made, packaged for shipping correctly and looks great in the anodized black as a contrast to your hood color. Oh and it does a fantastic job of getting the heat out from under the hood. It also fits really well on the Toyota FJ40 which is what we have installed it on. I’ve purchased quite a few things from these guys and they are on point every time !!

Hood Louver was a great add on.
Excellent quality. Well thought out instructions. Pick a good YouTube installation video as this helps. This will certainly help overheating in desert areas. It also looks great even from the driver's seat. Definitely hard to cut holes in a perfectly good hood, but once you get past that, the install is not difficult, just time consuming as there is no room for error. Get the right tools in advance. I would highly recommend this mod.

Question & Answers
7 Answered questionsQ: Does this addition help with the 4.0 running cooler? Answer this question
A: It helps increase the air flow, especially on the trail. It does allow more dust into the engine compartment though.
Answered by David O. from Riverside, CA on 05/13/2021
A: Yes my tj runs around 10 degrees cooler, however it’s a mixed blessing it doesn’t want to come up to operating temperature in the snow.
Answered by Colebabcock on 05/13/2021
A: I have a small block Chevy in my TJ so not comparing apples to apples but i can feel the difference between having it and not having just touching the hood it definitely works
Answered by Troy from Kentucky on 05/13/2021
Q: Whats the difference between this part and "2017 Jeep Wrangler (JK) Poison Spyder Hood Louver - 17-53-011-PC"? Answer this question
A: The 17-53-011-PC fits 2007-2018 Wranglers. I really don't understand what you are asking. I have this one on my 2012 JKUR, and it fits perfectly, and allows sufficient airflow to help cool the engine.
Answered by TonyS from Torrance, California on 07/04/2021
A: 17-53-010-PC comes with a single windshield washer nozzle. 17-53-011-PC comes with two windshield washer nozzles.
Answered by Christian from 4WP HQ on 07/02/2021
Q: How many windshield washer holes does this have? Answer this question
A: Mine has 1. For a 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon. They actually make a couple of versions. 1with1 and 1with2.

Q: What are the overall dimensions? Answer this question
A: '97-02 TJ's : # 14-53-011-PC & '03-06 TJ's: # 14-53-010-PC (Overall dimension not listed) Hood Louvers are fairly easy to install but do require some drilling and cutting of your hood. Stainless steel fasteners are supplied, as well as a full-size template with instructions for cutting the airflow holes in the hood. Because it is a one-piece design, specific for each model Jeep, installation is a quick and easy. Competitors' hood louver products may include multiple pieces that are painstaking to properly align and install, while others provide no cut template, leaving you to figure out how best to place the louver and cut the holes underneath.
Answered by Dave from 4WP HQ on 06/13/2023
Q: Does it come flat back, or is raw aluminum that needs to be painted? Answer this question
A: Thanks for the inquiry Roy, the Poison Spyder Custom Hood Louver part # PSC14-53-010 this is bare if you want a black one use part # PSC14-53-010-PC.
