Do you mean these vents?

It took some lateral thinking but I got these from two separate vendors at Hershey. $50 for the vents and $75 for the panel.

Thanks! This has been a bit of a "holy grail" part for the car. I still don't know how I managed to score a whole set from two separate vendors but I'm happy that I did.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I suck at Bondo. I can match complex curves pretty easily but broad, flat areas just don't go over well. No biggie, tho, since the car has enough little dings on it that this will just blend right in.

Thats because complex curves are easier than larger areas.... you need a large sanding block, a steady hand, and long smooth strokes to blend large areas cleanly!

Yeah... I figure that mistakes tend to get lost in all the other stuff going on with complex curves.

Oh well, such is life. The car isn't perfect anyway so it kind of blends in.
