Steel Bonnet with Air Vents - Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU 2007-2017

A steel bonnet for the Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU, 2007-2017. The supplier states steel, cut air vents finished with plastic covers, and matt black with a surface prepared for painting.

The photo shows two rectangular vents with black mesh set into the upper surface, plus three louvres on each front corner. The outer shape stays close to the factory one, so the change is mainly about engine bay ventilation and the look from above.

• Steel, not plastic - the supplier states the material outright.
• Mesh vents - two on the upper surface, visible in the photo.
• Corner louvres - three on each side, as in the photo.

Fitting and notes

Swapping a bonnet is workshop work - hinges, latch, prop rod and seals have to be carried over and the gaps to the wings set afterwards. The supplier does not say whether any of those parts are included, nor whether the steel is primed underneath - and on a steel panel that decides how long it lasts. It also does not say whether the vents are open or purely decorative. The 30 kg figure on the listing is the distributor's shipping weight, not the weight of the bonnet. We can swap and paint it here.

Frequently asked questions

Are hinges and the latch included?

The supplier does not say. We will confirm exactly what is supplied before you order.

Are the vents open?

The supplier does not specify. In the photo they are covered with mesh, but whether they pass air into the bay does not follow from the description.

Does the bonnet have to be painted?

The supplier states matt black with a surface prepared for painting. The decision is yours.
