      Yeah man, totally do-able. I made one for my cowl vent back in the day. Totally worked. Saved my ass on a super-rainy trip back from Austin.

        What did you use as the hold downs? Dzus fastners?

          For rain and car washes, I would fabricate something like this:


          Make it with a foam or rubber lip that mates up to the flange of the vent and some spring loaded J-hooks that you can hook through the holes in the vent. Should be cheap and fun.

            Yeah I actually used something that was more like a "T" that I could fit in between the vents and then clock 90 degrees. Yours is a bit more complicated, so that's why I was thinking more of a J. I'd just play with it and see what works best for you.

                      How about just detail shots of the hood vent?

                      Is that thing from a different factory application? Has a vaguely GM look to it. I think it looks cool either way.

                        That I can do. After work. Yes, it us a Camaro heat extractor. I've seen the dual mustang vents been done already. And frankly, they look great, but no one has this one.

                              Finished product.

                              Mounting is a bit barbaric but it works and will be covered by the hood blanket, once cut and reinstalled.

                                Still want to trim a bit more, install some 3m double sided tape, blanket, paint exposed metal, etc, etc.
