Default Ha! I found out where my weird hood vents came from

Was having the paint scanned to figure out what color the respray is,and one of the body shop guys was looking at the hood,and i said the previous owner did that.

he said those look like 1998 Honda Civic grills,

and got out his phone and showed me a pic.

Yup, that's what they are, after market Civic grills. LOL.

The color is Ford Petrol Blue Mica.

i wish he would have used something like this, as it wouldn't look so dorky.

Oh my. That's...... an interesting choice. Lol. Are you going to keep it as-is or try to fix it?

Debating on the side vents, not sure if to (have them) fill them in, or get a set of these, as pictured on the fender top.



The ones shown on the hood are too long, but the fender top vents would cover the holes,and at least look "sort of" decent on the car. And less expensive than a hood. Unless the hood was cheap and close, shipping large objects is pricey.
