Good eye. I’d say you’re right.

@voodu3 and @Heckraiser Nope, they are not the same shape they were custom made for Toyota Prado and Jeep

So... Why are your windshield wipers backwards? I don't recall mention of that in your build thread.

Maybe a RHD converted to LHD? Or just a LHD hdj81?

Any particular reason that the last 3 rows of vents are pointing opposite direction as the rest of them??

outstanding,let us know if you get temp reduction all around

I installed smaller vents, used to get needle climb when going up a certain grade dragging my gear, didnt do it the last time i went up with the vents on, same temps out. Also, engine bay doesn't hold the heat in like it used to, but i live in az and heat is the killer here, not the cold. If i lived in a cold climate, i wouldnt run them. This summer will tell me if the ac doesnt “warm” at stop lights. My prediction is it will, but not as fast and get cooler faster.
The only difference between no vent and vent was i added a rack and an awning, so extra drag. Im happy for my $90 purchase.
