I've thought about doing this before, that turned out really good! I like it a lot!
Very nice...makes me want to go pull mine out and start...
That turned out awesome! Good job man!
Looks much better than stock. Good job.
Totally agree!
Looks great!&that wil get rid of some heat
Just an idea...could you heat the Xacto blade to make it cut easier and limit your sanding? (Thinking like model airplanes)
Nice job to the Op for being creative and sharing with the group.:beer:

Thanks everyone :beer: Glad you like them. I dont even think the average person would notice.
I thought about heating up the blade. It shaped like a hook or half moon (sharp on the inside radius) and I didn't know if the heat would warp the blade and make it not streight anymore. After cutting the louvers off with the side cutters I used the xacto knife to cut the left over "nubbs" off. I wasn't real concerned with cutting it down totally flat, I just didn't want to cut into the vent frame. I started with 60 grit which leveled out bumps fast, but I think it was too aggressive. Then I used 180 grit then 220. Im thinking of going back over them with 400 grit and re spraying them. Im alittle picky/anal
