I think a few guys made custom ones, but never saw a vendor sell em. Subscribed just in case. Good Luck!

There was a guy either in this forum or somewhere else (and it can be found on YouTube) that took a Dremel tool and was grinding them out 1 hole at a time. His name had Boosted in it but I can’t remember what it was exactly. He has done a ton of how to videos.

I’ve thought about it but with all of the rain and snow where I live and the fact that those holes would lead water straight to my engine, I don’t know that I would do it. Especially since I have a Vararam intake.

My hood is a cheap fiberglass knockoff, But the ports were wide open so I improvised and bought an LED set that is supposed to light two sides of your interior and change to multi colors and all that, and plug into your lighter port. So I got creative and figured how to wire into my system, and water proof the ports, it can be done because I live here close to Boston and it's withstood one winter, spring ,summer and fall, and is still operating really well, just have to have a lot of patients. The results catch everybody off guard. wish ya luck if ya go through with it. IMG_20190710_061303.jpg IMG_20190628_203833.jpg IMG_20190628_203635.jpg

Now that's pretty cool... Ugh I don't want to spend more money lol

Haha yeah it's very tempting at times. I wish these were around 4-5 years ago when I was making vent lights for my sport at the time. I just rigged up some small led light bars on some brackets and put them behind the vents...worked ok, achieved the look I wanted good enough. If these were around though I would have just gone the easier route.
