You could always cut them out and put some tight mesh behind the holes
They are going to leave the holes black on the inside right?

details details details, oh yes I told them to leave the vents unpainted, but they will smooth it off a little.

I saw the car today and they wher finishing up with the bodywork. I had to remind them to shave the "doggy door" so I can put the Nissan Skyline badges on. We also did a test fit of the new Aero bumper, perfect! Then I clarified how I wanted the rims to look.
Has anyone ever painted the "stock" calipers gold before. Or is that a laughable modification? At which I will wait for the aftermarket set, but that won't be for awhile after all this.
The car is sitting in front of the paint booth as your reading this. It will be painted tomorrow, set all day wed and thursday buffed out. Friday I will be picking it up!
