made some replacement corner vents
I'm pretty happy how they turned out.
the one on the left is the OEM, obviously broken and the one on the right is the replacement. I made it out of ABS Plastic and a bit more modern looking.

anyways check it out and tell me what you think.

I plan on making some more but that's for another thread, I don't want to break any rules.

"obviously broken" haha so true! These look great. Is the finish what makes them more modern?

I think it's the smoother corners and thicker/taller vents. I made this vent from scratch. There is no old vent underneath. The finish is actually a mistake but turned out alright. I want it to be the duller plastic finish like the original but I had to fix a few mistakes so I decided to paint it
