Amerihood hood swap

[nowandthen]

Doesn't look like it has provisions for the hood struts. This is the bottom view of that hood (Type VIP).

Or this bottom view, depending on where I find the images.

Adding another "fixed" version of the OP's picture.

@xDeceasedx How about an update on the hood? Still happy with it?

I ended up ordering the rockmonsterusa mpr hood, same hood but made out of steel

It's nice they give you the option of paint. (Rockmonster hood)

I prefer steel too. Fiberglass makes me nervous.

Just an FYI, We have a Hood Lift system designed for Aftermarket hoods without the stock "slot" in the hood.

Purchased a similar hood on eBay and had my bodyshop installed it for me, pretty sick.

How is this hood and their color match option? I’m thinking about ordering it for my 2024 JL.

It’s been perfect, no complaints whatsoever

Did you need anything extra for the hood to fit or is it just bolt on?

Any insulation pieces, cowl panels, hinges, bolts etc. Anything like that needed? Also do you have any pics would love to see yours!!

Do you have any pictures of the underside of the hood? I've been looking at these and I have not seen any images of the underside of the hood. Thanks.

I don’t but if I took some now it would be pointless. It’s identical to the oem rubicon hood and when installed is mostly covered by the heat shield
