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

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...
