Having flat black vinyl over each vent could provide a relatively believable illusion that they're open & functional from a distance and when up close, they could actually be viewed as a nice touch: sort of a subtle striping accent. It's an idea that has potential, albeit I would not do it to my car. At least not until I see someone pull it off in person, for that is not the kind of thing photoshops can really put into perspective.

And yes, I am going to have to side with the overall consensus here that cutting the vents open to make them functional is out of the question. That is a rust case waiting to happen. I am not going to sacrifice the structural integrity of an already splendid-looking vehicle because I am achy-breaky over the original concept.
