pretty sure you'll be able to order it through the stealership / mopar parts counter. as for other places that remains to be seen tho my guess is we should see quite a few places carry it soon
What I heard is that you would not be able to purchase this hood unless you were a 10A owner. Of course that might not be true, but that is just what I have heard. I ordered my 10A anyways, so I'm set - but for those of you trying to buy this hood from Mopar, I personally wouldn't hold my breath on being able to buy it.
Sounds like hearsay. Maybe it's true for now before the 10A's are released but I'm pretty sure all parts are available after awhile; that is, if the companies like money - and they do.
I am willing to bet that after the jeep is out you will be able to by one. If not from the dealer some aftermarket company will come out with one just like it.
Well I get what you mean but uneccessary amounts of water freely flowing into my engine compartment can lead to other issues I would imagine. Rust for one.
Take a look under the hood of the 3.6L The engine cover is huge and there is nothing else in front of it. Water would just run down the front of the engine cover.
The good and bumpers are made by quality metalcrafters I've heard.
Water going in a strategically placed vent is no problem at all for an engine bay. My Subaru STI has a 3-4 inch tall by 14 inch hood scoop and has sucked in 8 years of water day and night. Not a single bit of rust or problem, engines are designed to tolerate water. Every one of them.
After the 10a's are out for a little bit your dealer will be able to get you the hood using any of the vin's from 10a's he has sold. It's done all the time on special edition vehicles. He will route you through his body shop for the proper paper trail.
If I found out my dealer was using my vin to order parts for other clients I would be on the phone with Chrysler corporate immediately.
You do understand why things are limited and what buyers of limited items are expecting....it to actually be limited. If you want the hood buy the Jeep.

There will be similar replicas no doubt about it. All that needs to be done is to change it up slightly to avoid copyright infringement. The aftermarket producers are likely already on it. Hell, china doesn't even care about patents.

Yeah. They are stealth too. They don't stand out like AEV hoods (which are cool) at first sight. The guy at the shop I go to has one one his and the supercharger to boot. There's a picture of his Jeep in the last JP magazine for an ad for the turbo manufacturer.

Dont worry. Soon you will be able to order the 10A hood or any other 10A part. If its only available to 10A Jeeps, the dealer just needs to get a VIN from any 10A Rubi, sold or not. If its sold, the owner will never know that a part was ordered with his VIN number. Its only paperwork for the dealer.
This kind of stuff happens all the time with all the manufacturers.
I might even buy one for my white JKUR. All I need to do is locate a VIN. The internet will definately help me with that when its time if the dealer cant.

Now if they would just make one that vents the warm air from the engine onto the windshield wipers so the snow stops freezing them up and I don't have to pull over and flip the ice off of my "snow blades" I would be in like Flynn.

Just search cars.com or autotrader.com, dealers have VINs listed. There are a few 10th Anniv. Rubicons listed with photos and VINs. I don't know if Jeep offers pre-painted parts, if so, get a VIN for the color hood you prefer.
The parts dept. wants VINs to ensure they order the correct part for your vehicle so they do not end up with special order parts sitting in their inventory. For special orders, many parts departments want to be paid for up front.
All manufacturers are required to produce a supply of replacement parts for warranty claims, repairs, etc. Someone using your VIN will not prevent you from getting replacement parts in the future.
I agree, the hood is awesome! I actually own one. And no I don't own a 10A. I'd love to tell ya how I got it but I just can't. I'm not big on stickers,etc. So, it's all black. But it looks awesome.
