I got mine sitting in the garage, how hard was it to get the cut in the hood right. It's my main concern.

Was not too bad, took me at least an hour. The hard part is the inside structure.

a die grinder would be the best to use, start small and expand it out to fit the plastic piece perfectly. My hole was not pretty but it is all covered by the trim piece.

‘’make sure you have a 3 inch hole saw too.

Nice! Anymore pics? Are you using the standard mounting bracket or the optional a-piller bracket?

Looks like you could still fold the windshield, depending on the way it attaches to the A-pillar. Thanks!

Looks great, btw. A huge advantage over the Mopar is that this allows for swapping on a pre-filter or separator device.

Cannot fold down windshield, to do that you need an optional bracket that is $50 and is not as strong. Have the pre filter just have not installed yet.

Looks very similar to the Mopar Snorkel. Is there a large difference?

I think the AEV is better quality and if you live in the southwest you can add a pre filter.
