Just how do you expect the vents to be cut? Yeah, it may be easy enough to modify a mold for the vents, however, how are you going to stabilize the sheetmetal in the die and keep it from deforming when being punched-out? With all due respect, I'm not sure you can appreciate the time and care it would take to make those real.

From another perspective, the body constantly goes through shudders and shakes, so how does one propose to keep those vents from turning into and developing into tears in the sheetmetal. I've seen a lot of bodywork at the shop I used to work at, and it ain't that simple.

What happens the first time someone opens their door into that area and bends the sheet out of that vent? You're going to have to add more weight and stiffening around those openings in order to give them any sort of strength.

Now, if that vent was just a large hole, that a separate vent assembly t could snap into, that would seem more plausible, but the idea that it would be cheap or easy to do this to sheetmetal and make it last is does not quite make sense to me...

JMHO.
