I have one as well, with the Amuse kit and I think it looks pretty good.

I've had mine for a while now and I've driven in the rain more than once and haven't had a large amount of water in. Maayyyyyybe a couple drops, but nothing more than that.

I used a dremel with a rotary rasp style bit and worked flawlessly and super clean cuts. Tried out several on a spare hood before taking the plunge.

Picture is potato and wasn't intended to show off the vents, but give you an idea of the "snouts" at the high side to let all that nasty heat out - and you could practically roast a chicken over the vents.
