Mk4 4 hood louvers vs hood scoop?

[Jester]

Has anyone found a source for a set of nice looking hood louvers for their roadster. I am thinking of replacing my hood scoop with louvers to have a cleaner look. The hood scoop is not needed with my set up (Coyote).

I may end up ordering a new hood from FFR and installing louvers.

Any suggestions? - photos if possible.

Note: there is a typo in the title of this post - I am not looking for 4 louvers

Thx

those look like the louvers from the GTM. I like the look.

Jester. If you like the GTM louvers Shane Vacek sells these that I just installed on my MkI http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?14398-Hood-Louvers&highlight=louvers And I'm sure he could customize you anything you wanted within reason.

Jester-

I am trying to locate a picture that I have for 1968 Shelby hood louvers, which can be found at:

http://www.maierracing.com/

Unfortunately, I can't find them on the website, but they do carry the louvers, but you need to call them and ask for the specific parts. As soon as I locate a good picture, I will post it for you here. They look really awesome, and there is at least one person who has used them on their Roadster. I hope they may post their pictures if I can't locate mine.

I am not sure if I helped or not.

Regards,

Steve

Thanks for the replies and pic's - good to see some options - look great.

I have seen louvers in person on a roadster but I have not seen the car in several years. If I see the roadster, I till take pictures and post.

Like all things roadster, louvers are a reflection of taste - it would be great to see what the louvers look like on an original.

Hopefully this thread can be added to overtime to illustrate what mods have done re louvers.

Thanks

I have the Maier Racing fiberglass louvers. Be aware that they take quite a bit of work to make them look good. Or at least my pair did.
