Do these louvers look alright
The bonnet and louvers still needs to be finished off.
Besides that do you think they will look alright when they are finished or should i just get an rs bonnet and cut that out.
All opinions needed.
Thanks.
Jeff.

It looks terrible.
Like others have said, try to find a standard flat hood.
After you cut the hood, I'd also suggest welding a 1/4 round or similar edging onto the cut section to give it a finished look instead of just having the edge of the sheet metal with all of the bracing showing.
