Very nice Rick! They look like they're easier to install than the fiberglass ones with less work.

Rick-

I like these, but it looks like the angle on them makes the opening more significant; i.e. you can see more daylight through these louvers compared to the fiberglass ones I have seen.

I don't mean this as a negative, just an observation, And, I could be wrong as well. Just going from memory.

I think these would let in more air compared to the fiberglass ones as well, due to the angle. Again however, assuming I am seeing it correctly, and my momory is correct.

I feel like a lawyer with all the disclaimers... HAHA

Regards,

Steve

i wonder about under the hood clearance
i would think you would need to verify its all clear.
i do like them, the vipers have them and they don't go fast :)

i would like to see if they are doing any side louvers, like Keith mentioned in his FFCars thread. those are what i am looking for.

There is only 3/8 inch that hangs below the bottom edge of the hood, no clearance issues.
I believe the air will be exiting out rather than pulling it in through the louver.
The side vents are in the works to match.
