73 Cowl Induction Vent

Hi Guys,

I had a thought of buying the cowl induction vent in chrome and matching it with Chromed Astro-Vents in the rear. I can find the rear vents in chrome but not the cowl vent. If anyone knows if this is available, please let me know.

Thanks
Ian

I kind of wondered if this would look good. I've got to get my bumpers rechromed and was thinking of doing the vents at the same time.

Did you buy them chromed or send your originals to a chrome shop?
