@VeloxEric, there seems to be a market for folks only wanting two louvers. |

And I only want the two large vents, with wickerbills, associated hardware, and pattern templates - I'm interested.

I have the other half of @kster1's kit.
I put the large center vents in the outer position. The templates made the install super easy. The aluminum hood cuts easy and straight. Total time to install these was about an hour and I took my time. 2/5 stars on difficulty with 5 being the hardest.

We have another batch nearing completion, should be another 1.5 weeks and we'll have black back in stock! Bare aluminum units are still available. Also, if anyone is interested in other designs, we aren't opposed to hearing it out and may even try it . Thanks, Eric |

VeloxEric: have you thought of designing functional fender vents that so far was seen mostly as some DIY job.
My thought of line going like: if hood needs to be cut to install hood louvers anyway, so why not cut instead behind side fenders decorative inserts and make them functional to pass out air from under bonnet reducing temps in same way as hood lovers do? As side bonus - no need for any rain guards. Con being that side fender insert area is less then hood louvers'. No clue which is better airflow drag wise, to pass above hood or pass to sides.

However, I have seen people on here with the side vents open who claim air temp reductions underhood. |

Any update on an 8 vent kit? Or a universal style rectangular vent and people can just buy them in sets of two and put as many as they want.
