The louvers are a must on my car. I want to create a low pressure area behind the oil cooler and the intercooler.. I'm no longer using the factory 951 front end, so I must experiment..

Looks good, this is what I've been planning on doing.
Where did you have it done?

Thanks David
Did you drop the car off or just the hood? How long did it take them to do the job?

I just took them the hood, dropped it off and it was ready next day. I am sure they could do it while you wait if you set up a time with them.

The hood does need to be painted after.

Thanks for the info.
Hood needs painting anyway, acually the whole car needs painting but that's a project for next year. Might try it myself.

Looks great David.

Will the water that drips down these louvres cause problems?

While we're on the subject, will NACA ducts have the same issue?

I know our cars need all the hot air venting we can get, but I'm just worried about problems caused by the entering water.
