Do you lose the ability to close your AC vents with the billet cover?

What's up guys? Do you lose the ability to close/direct the air out of your AC vents if you use a billet cover?

Seen here:

If you do, do I need vents at all?

You don't have to have the vents at all. They just enable you to direct air flow where u want it.

You could probably just have that area machined out so you could get to the vents I guess... But this is the main reason I am not going with them - I will be having some custom made that leave the vent open - still need them to be functional - plus the ones on the market are so plain & over-used...
