hi guys
i picked up a set of aftermarket cat scratch vents on ebay for $10.
ive painted them the colour of the car unfortunatly the colour match isnt 100%
i havnt fixed them to the bonnet yet.

Functional would be cool. Unrelated criticism - I think it would look better with the ford badge on the front :)

Don't like them.
Too rounded for the EA shape, they look out of place IMO.

i reckon they would look better if they were straight forward, as they would follow the boxcar shape.

Angled in, would be better suited to the round shape of ef/el
