Real hood louvers - beacause heat is the mortal enemy of performance, engine life and under-hood componet life. Your engine compartment is like an oven and it's cooking everything that's in it! You must get the hot air out of that cauldron before the cool air can come in - and hot air rises - so let it out!


Move your mouse over the louver to rotate it.

Now, the world's first, universal-fit, pop-rivet-on, metal hood louvers-no need to remove, punch and repaint your hood!

Looks aggressive, even sitting still! Tired of the "stock" look? Make your street or race car, truck, tuner or S.U.V. look hot, while you cool off the engine compartment – two benefits for the price of one! Highest quality - made in the U.S.A.! Real Stainless Steel or Aluminum, so rust-free! Will outlast your vehicle!

Universal fit... with a custom look! Complete with do-it-yourself instructions and hardware. Order in a color or paint them, yourself. Rest a set on your hood – see just how good they look! You'll be floored! Or, return them in 30 days for a full refund (including shipping!). No risk "free trial"!

"We are thoroughly enjoying your large hood louvers. Of all the many upgrades done to this Jeep your louvers are by far the most beneficial, and attract the most attention. And we are running cool for sure!!!"

Hood louvers extend the life of everything under your hood...

"Chilling cold isn't the hardest environment for batteries; hot temperatures actually cause more damage...heat saps more life over time...increased under-hood temperatures in hot weather is especially taxing."

Consumer Reports, October 2006

"Rubber hoses can become hard and brittle, deteriorating with age and exposure to heat...Belts also break down with heat."

      NOTE: The fasteners shown here are screws, not the Stainless Steel pop rivets (which are smaller).

      Air flow through and out of the hot engine compartment is what these real hood louvers are about!

      Note the air flow, as seen by the movement of the tissue paper. This is due to a combination of rising heat and the forced air flow by the engine cooling fan (at 1500 rpms). The “ram air” effect of the air being forced through the engine compartment and out of the louvers, as the vehicle moves forward, would add to the air flow through the louvers.

      The RunCool Hood Louvers here are mounted on RunCool's president's Jaguar XJS with a full-house Chevy 406 small block.
