I have a 2017 viper BTX and I want to install frog skin type material on the exixsting vent holes to keep snow out of the engine compartment and creating ice down in the tie rod boot area. I don't want to add extra vents, just cover up the ones that are already there. I have scoured the internet with out any luck. There seems to lots of places that sell extra vent kits but not for the stock vents. Anyone have any suggestions.

Just a comment about the side vents Frog Skins..
I used these on my last machine.

They were "ok" but they had to be looked after from time to time. The adhesive would slightly separate and need to be glued down again.
Not that huge of a deal. Ran this system 4 seasons and worked well.
If had to do it over, I would use this style.

A little more secure and cleaner look.
The hood nose piece is fine. Uses no adhesive. Locks securely with tabs & snaps.
