V2 Definitely looks better than V1 -- adds a "personal touch". I too am not a "fan" of louvers -- but if you like it that's all that matters.....

I think if you could mold a scoop in between the two sides it would look really nice. Props for doing your own thing.

Like mentioned above, if you could put a scoop like teh RK scoop it may look better. But +Vrep for doing something different.

First ones flowed, these ones look like you welded heating vent registers to the hood. No offense or anything, keep at it, eventually you'll hit that sweet spot and it'll look mint
