    dash board vent covers?

    does anyone make the vent covers aftermarket for the gen 3 coupe? Im referring to the defrost vents on the top of the dashboard.

    I didnt order the defrost package with my kit so Im assuming thats why I dont have them. just looking to cover the existing openings in the dash

    Not that I know of. They are pretty basic laser cut pieces. Have you check to see if you can get them from FFR or are you looking for something different?

    These are what I used on my Gen 3 Coupe build. Vintage Air Standard Series Louvers 63100-VUQ. They are aluminum and I ended up painting them satin black because they reflected on the windshield. The A/C kit comes with similar pieces except they're plastic.

    The manual shows the plastic pieces, but my kit came with something very similar to the Vintage Air you mentioned. They were laser cut metal pieces, divided into 2 parts vertically (not horizontally as the Vintage air one). i had to sand down the edges as they were pretty rough from the laser and i also painted them matt black.
