I'm interested in how you formed this, I don't know how UV resistant it would be but I'd like to make a set in pet or petg.

PETG is nice, in that it might conform more-easily, but the stuff scratches *so* easily.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I forgot to set the post to notify me of activity.
As for UV and scratch resistance, I intend to put clear vinyl automotive UV protection on top.
The leading edges do curve in and were done with a heat gun & torch on a sheet metal break. But they can also be curved on a simple DIY jig, just take your time!
below is what i used and u an get both panels from one sheet.

As for the diffuser, it's just sheet metal. The fins can removed if they to be repaired or replaced.[This message has been edited by Francis T (edited 05-01-2017).]

Sadly, the original poster is no longer among us. I don't know who else may have the pics.
