I want to easily vent the engine bay heat when I get the Whipple under there.
Those fit well, where'd you get them?
Also, with just the vent fan running, did you notice it pulling in hotter air than ambient afterwords?

I haven’t noticed anything different with heat in the cabin, but it’s heating or cooling 99% of the time.

Rodlouvers is the place. These particular ones.

My real "BP" build truck has the hood louvers and they r pop riveted in and fully functional

Anybody asking about what to do with the washer fluid reservoir, I forgot I had this from when I went to a factory bumper cover and washer bottle. It’s from an obs truck and I had added a second hole for a rear pump since it’s only got one. It was just hung above the secondary battery tray. I’ve also seen the late square body bottle used on another BP Tahoe.

Ya my BP Tahoe came with the same washer bottle above the secondary battery tray. I'm not sure why they had to remove the original bottle.

When the bumper cover is cut, half the stock washer bottle hangs out. They also cut the inner fender liners

If someone who wants to cut their bumper wants one of these washer bottles let me know.
