This is my first project with kitty hair so please no bashing. constructive critisism is welcome. I could always learn from the more experienced.
3" grey conduit. trim vent openings in dash to fit . oh! I cut pipe 7/8" long
here are the products i used, along with duplicolor trim paint. sorry guys about the order of this thread I am still learning. here is also a pic of the backside.

Back up openings from behind with duct tape. and after sanding down or grinding down old vinyl start applying kitty hair to the shape your looking for.
I should also mention I routed down the inside of the pipe so as the new vents would be recessed.
Bye the way, notice the acsess to the passengers sid dash bolt.

Very nice. Ive done lots of fiber glass stuff and its crazy how it looks before its done. Looks almost like it will never look good, then after sanding and painting and more sanding and painting it looks awesome. Few have the patients for it, keep it up, looks good.

I saw this last week on power block. I have done a lot of body work tin and glass. If this works as good as it looks this would make fabing things like the vents very easy’
