So I am involved in the aviation feild. Woohoo... not realy, planes are gay and can't be stanced but thats beside the point. Been taking a class in turbines and I keep passing by these cowlings with louvers on them and I just keep getting these killer ideas for them for the s12... I noticed an old A/C system for my house is just covered in lovers. I was thinking on putting some on the hood or maybe rat rod style on the trunk/boot. Maybe adjustable ones for winter or when it rains.

Kinda courious what you guys think...

pics so you get an idea what i am talking about:

I think it will look awesome if you do it right. I'm all for anything that makes our cars look spacier.

This.

Too much will really kill it
Too little will be good accents
Just right, will look great and perform quite good.

Louver size will be a large factor in this.

I was thinking of doing 2 lines down my hood on the exhaust side. It's a hot spot and think it would be a good place to reroute air away from the master cylinder.

somthing like this..

I like, especially if it's a million small louvers, compare to 5 to 10 large ones per row.
Function, could look good, and fresh.

You can totally triforce

And put some on your fenders.

Like they had on the BMW Z3 Maytag Edition. I think it would be sick man. More importantly functional.
