Shane, looks good. Always nice work. Only thing that seems to not fit is the center portion with the holes. Would be nice if that area was flush with body almost making it look like two holes instead of one. Just my thought. Could leave as is and add a thin peice to cover that area.

I would agree, and would be easy enough to do on any Gen II with a bit of fg and filler once the louvers are fit to the opening. Cover that center portion with masking tape, clamp the panel in place and fiberglass and fill that area as you want, then un-clamp and remove the panel to finish out the edges of the opening(s).

Outstanding!

My only preference would be to have the center section solid and maybe raised to fit flush with the hatch.

When can I buy them?Will this one work in the rear deck opening too?

Can't wait to see them in the hood and grille openings.....Hint, Hint....

Nice work, just do not cut the center and mount from below. Richard.

The opening is already cut in the hatch from FFR. I would try just 3 louvers that run the full-width of the opening, but I'm afraid that would end up as quite a span to try to keep them from wanting to vibrate and flutter at speed.
