How many people have just drilled holes in their side panels and used screen door materal? Any pictures would be helpful for a new doo owner.

Ya, I did it to both of ours. Has worked out great. I was going to put screen under it, but decided to try it without and it hasn't been a problem, even in those insane powder days. Cost me my time, thats it.
I have the SLP Snap In Air Vents 2.5". Work good. I opted for these becuase I am always nervous about punching holes on my machine, and I thought these looked like a much cleaner option than the full screen kits, cheaper also. I have 1 in front of the clutch, 2 in the air box housing, and now 1 on the side panel to let air get to the airbox with the two vents.
I bought some JC Vents. The fine mesh material I think is better than the screen door material for letting in snow.........The last thing you want is some H2O on those clutches.
After 2 rides my scientific "feel the clutches to see if they are hot approach" seems to show way cooler temps than without the vents.

I went with jc vents for the top and the gills for the bottom. Clutches stay warm, but not hot at all. Works well.
