Did you get the other cowl pieces to make it fit on the back end of it? It looks like it is a bit higher in the back since the hinges are sunken in quite a bit. Not sure what else might be different.

I’m not sure about the fitment. According to https://dandcdesigns.net/product/lucid-vsl/ it says “Will NOT FIT MOJAVE OR 392 MODEL”, does this mean the cowl piece is different too?

My understanding is the 392 hood is heavy as hell by comparison to the Sport hoods. I know for a fact from the ones that I've seen that they have a lot of extra stuff on them. If you haven't already, I'd remove all the crap you don't need. Might help you with a little bit of the weight reduction of those heavy ass hoods.
Cheap plastic things? Are the new 2024 hoods made of plastic now? My Willys Sport has a aluminum hood. Pretty sure most of our hoods are aluminum. Is the 392 hood steel? Or is it also aluminum?

A magnet sticks (21), the hydro glide is plastic and couldn’t weigh much. If the other parts to make it a functional CAI can’t be used this weight weenie wouldn’t do it just for looks….

You have to first sacrifice a rubber duck to @Tredsdert.

Well that right there is reason for me to get a 392 hood someday. I like the aluminum hood and all, it's lightweight and it's pretty simple to deal with, but I sure do like the idea of sticking magnets on the Jeep without having to drill holes and stick hood rounds on there...A magnet sticks (21), the hydro glide is plastic and couldn’t weigh much.

Y'all remember these guys!?
I'll get them back on there one of these days, maybe after I purchase my next hood.
I spent so little time bondo'ing the hood, and screwing up the hood with even bigger holes each time I played with the steel rounds, I don't really want to undo the bondo at this point. I'll just be left with a gaping hole this time.
It'll be way more trouble than it's worth!

I accept all forms of dead duck credit:
Melted rubber duck
Rubber duck that doesn't float anymore
Rubber duck missing it's head
Rubber duck with the squeaker taken out of its bottom, and a gaping hole left behind (Jeffrey Epstein style)
Pretty much any kind of mutilated rubber duck is cool by me.

Wrong reason- removing the hydro glide clearing the hood bubble would allow clearance for a proper mod. Instead of pissing money away on ever changing little crap save it for one excellent mod, and be thankful you live where you can make it run ! Memba this ?!Well that right there is reason for me to get a 392 hood someday.

Funny you say that, I told the wife the other day that the only thing I regret about the Wrangler is wasting so much money on stupid little shit things that I don't even have in my Jeep anymore. If I had saved all that money and just bought one or two nice things that I would still have on there, would have been much better. I don't regret that, I mean you got to learn less than somehow, but I do wish I had learned that lesson sooner, maybe before I got my Wrangler would have been ideal.Wrong reason- removing the hydro glide clearing the hood bubble would allow clearance for a proper mod.
