Hey guys I made an oops today. While checking flex with a forklift, it fell off the forks and poked a nice hole in the side fender. Wondering if there is a grill or louvered vent I can put on to cover the damage.

Please, feel free to poke fun. I am fully aware of my deficiencies.

Well stated!

In all serious though, what about a thicker aluminum sheet, maybe painted, some nutzerts and make it like body armor? I know there are some companies that louvers but they're for higher up on the side. Just a thought.

That was my original thought. But pop rivets, nut serts may be a better idea. I already have a full nardo grey touch up kit, so It would be kinda easy. My TJ had all sorts of vents available. I did notice the JK does not have any air flow via the new inspection hole.

I got over excited to check flex with the new rear coilovers installed. did not lock front axle. The forks were too close together. Excuses, excuses. LOL
 
Impressive though! Guess I'll steal a forklift from work and go see what I can get. Hopefully no one will "poke" fun at me
