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.

Nice work. Cheaper alternative to buying anywhere else for sure.

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

Where in GA are you? Do I know you?
