re: "...The screening on the Vent... Is that just metal screening ( Storm door) bent up and held into place with the snowcaps?..."

No, it's black nylon screen (I didn't want to use metal, as it could wear on the paint). It's attached to the caps with 3M's 5200 marine adhesive/sealer -- my favorite because it's so impervious to weather and permanent; the lower part of the screen in just folded and tucked into the gasket that runs along the firewall under the edge of the hood.

re: "...Did you make the snowcaps yourself, I've never seen them anywhere...."

No, they're both Volvo accessories, two different styles:

The one on my '84 is a single, long one (for the pre-'86 vent style); I think the p/n is 1128848-7 (but it's been a long time, so this may be wrong). It only comes in black, and I never bothered to paint it.

The '93's (for '86-'93) is different -- it comes as a pair of shorter (than the pre-'86) caps, to match the two separate set of vents of these later cars. I painted these to match the car's paint -- makes it look a lot nicer. The p/n is 3524879-6.
