Purchased a knock off AC hood vent and pleasantly surprised

[RYTBER]

I had seen this hood vent on eBay and I really liked the way it looked.

I went snooping around and basically found that it appears to be a Chinese made knock off of an Anderson Composites hood vent.

I love the look of it but the pricing on the AC product caused me to choke. Really was an unnecessary purchase but it just kept nagging at me. I bought it to shut myself up and was worried that the product wouldn’t fit or be ok or whatever.

Bottom line : you can definitely get lucky once in a while. It makes me rethink my purchase of the RTR chin splitter as that was a lot of money and there are so many splitters at significantly lower pricing. I believe the RTR splitter is a good product and the fact it’s one piece is a major plus. Truth be told though - in some cases it looks like price doesn’t always correlate with something being satisfactory or not.

Noticed this item on the market recently as well. The design definitely looks great. Let us know how it holds up, like I wonder how the paint finish will handle UV and age over time.

I do like that one! Would you put the link to this exact one? There are so many.

Had one for about a year and its held up well.

Yes I always think the same. Here in Florida between the sun and a lot of car washing gotta wonder about the paint. A small part like that could be taken care of easily but it remains to be seen for sure.
This was the one I purchased in glossy

Was it a direct bolt in with stock attaching points? (i.e. a direct fit/replacement for stock with no mods to the car) TIA

Yes remove and replace

I like the variety of vents that are available.
The one I chose is not cheap in price, and I hope it last a very long time.
It is solid and very well made, true carbon fiber; the fitment is top-notch.
