Default 3D Print Hood Pin Vents

Not really sure what to make the title, but I bought my carbon fiber hood used that was painted over in silver.

I sanded the paint off and re-cleared it, but it also had these non-functional hood pins io it, so I figured I'd add some sort of louver and remove them.

I modeled this in Fusion360, going to test fit in PLA and then resin print it. I still need to add the curve for the hood to the model, but I want to test fit first flat because it will then need supports when printing with the curve

Its a carbon hood. If you like your roof and windshield I would strongly recommend adding hood pins.

It's been on there for 8 years. It's Seibon and really high quality. The latch is not going anywhere
