The more you deal with stainless steel parts, the quicker you will find out the truth of them…they are not all created with the same quality.  The stainless steel products made by Kentrol start with either tubing or sheets of stainless steel that is either 304 or 410 mirror finish.  This is a special type of stainless steel that is not susceptible to rust. 

 

Kentrol then uses their drawings and tools that are all proprietary as they have been made by Kentrol engineers to make their parts and accessories.  These parts and accessories then get stamped and then they are machined, drilled and or welded before finally getting polished.  All of this is done to ensure that both the finish and the fit are the best possible.  You will notice that the hood vents as well as the hinges that Kentrol makes are just a tad large.  This is done on purpose to make sure that any paint seams or even any body primer that could have been seen is hidden. 

 

When you put the materials used by Kentrol side by side with those used by the competition you will notice that Kentrol’s materials are thicker.  Another thing that you might notice that sets Kentrol parts and accessories apart is that they are always packaged with all of the hardware that you will need to install them.  All of this hardware is also stainless steel.  With any of the great Kentrol parts and accessories such as the stainless steel hood kit, you get quality as well as innovation that is and has to be consistent to bring the best parts and accessories made from stainless steel for Jeeps.
