Ideas for Hull side vents

[Lobo Marine Products]

So as you guys may know i have a 1979 Phoenix in the processs of a refit. One thing i am not sure what to do with is my Hull side vents. For one they are 1979 appeal, pretty ugly and not a new era look. I feel in doing so much work now why leave the vents ugly as hell.

I have seen some pretty impressive vent works on 31 Berts and 28 Berts as well, some with custom inserts and some with actual moddification to the hulls!

Does anyone have any ideas?

I seem to recall that mine in my phoenix were off the shelf vents. Pretty crummy. The ones when I got the boat were plastic, but I was able to find some chrome ones that were better.
