I like the look but closing off those vents is kinda strange.  Is it a race car?  Then it won't be strange.:D

Yeah, no A/C and it helps smooth the air to the intake of the hood.

Looks great, I like it!

I made a cowl panel for the convertible a few years ago...it's cool to have, but the down side is that you have to clean the entire back side of the engine because it reflects all. ;)

Yeah, I had stainless hose before but it never liked coming off so I changed it to rubber
