This is for a TJ that has two windshield washer sprayers! BUT WARNING: BE EXTREMELY CAUTIONARY! In contrast to the 2003 Jeep TJ, my 2002 Jeep TJ only has ONE sprayer! Rather than returning it, I cut the sprayer slot (it's aluminum) and black painted the hood where the sprayer cutouts are. Everything went smoothly, and the result is fantastic!
It won't fit because the hood isn't the same as the other.
The cuts were made with an angle grinder.
I'm not sure of the exact dimensions, but it fit perfectly in my 1996 Jeep Wrangler TJ. It also comes with a template for drilling and cutting holes.

Read the reviews and decided to go for it; it's a fantastic product!br>br>VERY simple to set up! I was going to wait until my wife got home before starting, but I decided to go ahead and do it myself! THE DESCRIPTION STATES "NO INSTRUCTIONS," but they are included. The templet has them printed on it! br>br>DON'T make the same mistake I did and disconnect the windshield washer fluid lines, the grounding strap, and the hood light first! I was too excited and removed the hinge bolts first!br>br>(My photos show the hood louvers on top of my blacked-out hood, giving the impression that they are wider than they are. ).
I left my hood on the jeep and covered the engine with a moving blanket. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably remove the hood to make things easier. Aside from that, it looks fantastic and has saved me a lot of money compared to the competition.
It was simple to set up. The template that came with it was excellent.
2002 TJ - This hood louver kit included a helpful template for cutting your hood. On mine, I had a single squirter, but it was configured for dual use. I chose to upgrade to dual squirters, which necessitated the creation of two new holes. After the louvers were installed, I went ahead and did this. Squirters were less than $10 for a two-pack on Amazon. This was completed in one day because I took my time. Cover the engine with a large piece of cardboard or a tarp to keep the metal bits from getting into places you don't want them, and make sure your windshield is covered! I failed to do so, and as a result, I pitted my windshield when using the cut off wheel.
I like that the product doesn't have a logo cut into it, and the template is good; just take your time making clean cuts and drilling holes. The hardware is of excellent quality. It looks fantastic and actually aids in cooling and the inevitable air-conditioning. At highway speeds (if you can get up to highway speeds), every Wrangler suffers from stacking and hood flutter.
In comparison to poison, this is of very high quality. The color is matte black, with stainless hardware and a cut template. Perfect.
I wasn't sure if this hood louvre would be as good as the name brand, but I'm very pleased with the thickness and quality, and I can already notice a difference in the heat buildup under the hood. This is something I would strongly recommend to anyone who is having trouble with heat soak in their TJ.
My friend's TJ has a $130 Poison Spyder. The template was extremely helpful. There were no unpleasant surprises, problems, or aches and pains. Installation was simple, and cutting took about 2 hours.
