Default Worst Hood Vents EVER!

So I took a chance and ordered these hood vents off of amazon.....
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005FPAUOQ



And instead I received these incredibly douchey "carting goggles"

Needless to say I was very disapointed, I've emailed the seller and time will tell if they make it right!

I'm close to the point of making them, I'll buy a louvre die for the press brake we have at work and just bang out a bunch.

Everyone's going to have a different opinion on this obviously, I'm of the opinion that the boat vents I chose are the best looking ones I've been able to find. The LeBarons are okay, though.
