They are not True vents. They are blocked off dummy vents. I am working on a design for some time now. I have to get back to the design. Been busy lately with other stuff.

I think I will leave the center vent the way it is.

Honestly, this is a learning curve for me. I am not too familiar with 3D printing standards. So this is something I will learn along the way. All the things you mentioned above, I was like huh" LOL. I though it was send file and print. But I am open to your input. I was thinking if I don't over...

Here is an update to the new design I am working on. I have been taking a slow approach at this. More so an engineering approach. I have some solutions to the water drainage. Its an exciting project I made for myself and I am up for the challenge. SO after some thought, in the previous posts...

I work as a composites manufacturing engineer in the aerospace industry. Believe me, I see a lot of different ways to handle the water. That's one of the benefits of working where I work. You are exposed to many different composite parts, and how they work. I have some ideas.

Cool, I have two design ideas for the panels under the headlight.

Its a scanner at my workplace, we use a CMM machine to inspect the composite parts we manufacture. I had the guy in the inspection dept scan it. The scanner is called "Romer Absolute Arm".

Thank you. This weekend I am having a new 3D scan done on the part, this time top and bottom. Beauty about CAD is if you have left and right, just do one, mirror the other side.

Here is my last update for the night. Behind the scenes. The initial scan was a point cloud data. It was then converted to a mesh file. SO when you work with a mesh file, it is either all polygon (triangulated), and then converted to Quad. In my case, I was able to take the mesh file, and apply...

Sorry for the wait guys... been a bit busy, basement demo and planning, worklife, gym life, family life, intertwined with hood vents. So after playing with some software's, working with mesh files is no easy task. You have learn the new software's interface/environment. Processing the mesh life...

I see what you mean. Its the view that the screenshot was taken at. But the curve is a revolved cut. The view is tricky.

Looing for some inspirational designs. Here is a sample design I did. Its not official to the Ram lug pattern. But that can be easily modified.

Nothing in the world bothers me more than seeing a nice ride, with fake vents. So with the resources available, I am going to reverse engineer the hood vents. I haven't decided on a final design as of yet. The first step was to scan the vents. The next step is to reverse engineer the vents to be...

Were they expensive?

Did you paint, plasti dip, or replace the front grill letters. Looks nice blacked out. Where did you get the tow hooks from. I want to buy a set.
