Default Hood vents

Been quiet around here. Thought I'd share what I'm doing with my hood for some heat control and get some opinions. The outer wings will be cut out. I'm gonna build grills/vents to surround them. In between them will be the bird. I've got the hood braced up and will cut the holes out tomorrow if I have time.

Have the holes cut out. Clean them up then build the grills/vents to drop in the holes. The rings of the vent grills will be gold.

Last pic. Looks like a ghost skull the way the lights hitting the hood

This looks really cool.
Do you have any plans for the hat cut out?
