The rain issue has been addressed a dozen or more times in this thread. Read, it's good for you

Because they are metal, they look good. The lebaron vent are plastic? If not that's my second choice.

Whatever's clever, but this is an alternative.

Yes! Love it. How long have you had them? I live in Michigan so all the rain and snow I am not sure about, that's why I like the ones that have some cover. Do you have drip pans or anything?

Any advice for hood vents that I can open and close? I dont want to put them on because it takes forever to warm up in 0*F weather as-is, but if I could close them in the winter it would be totally worth it.

And i know that i could make a block-off plate for them, but I also would like to open/close them when it is raining. I was thinking HVAC house vents but that seems super ghetto...
