Default Day Star Hood Vents Switched Around

I wasn't a big fan of how the hood vents looked in all the pictures on the internet but I liked the shape and look of the hood vents. I purchased the vents and changed the way the vents were placed on the hood. I basically switched the vents from one side to the other. Anyway just thought someone else may want to see pictures of the hood vents switched around.

Hi!

Thanks a lot for sharing because I was having the same hesitation before I saw what you've done, it looks awesome that way!

Question, how did you manage with the template, how did you adapt it?

Here is a couple pictures of the vents placement on the hood with a tape measure for anyone interested in the layout of my hood. I cut the vents out of the original template and taped them back into to a position that I liked. Be sure to leave some room around your cutout vents so you can tape the vents in the new location on the template. I used the holes already on the template as a guide to align the cutout vents.
