But you are correct that a residential A/C register from Lowes can be used for this purpose as the picture below shows. Unfortunately this one was made from very thin steel and froze up from rust after only a few months.
Hi TdCRX,
Can you explain how you made the shutters, and how you get them to work from inside of the car? I'm interested to make a sliding shutter, if possible.
