Just about anything is possible when you have the right amount of cash and people to do the job. So, I say.....yes.

If you have the steady hand for it, you should be able to mask and cut the correct holes and then find a way to Fasten or seal the louvers into the cutout spaces. It wouldn't be too difficult if the louvers have a bit of a lip or flange around the perimeter of the louver. Then you cut the inside Diameter of the lip/flange and just set the louvers in place. The tricky part might be fastening/sealing them in place. I'd consider an adhesive maybe?

Post pics of the louvers, that would give us a better idea.
