I guess it looks ok, but I'm personally not a fan. I saw a Grand Prix with a tiny little stick on lund one (i think) and it looked ridiculous I wanted to do him a favor and rip it off since it was in a KMART parking lot but its not my car and I don't touch other people stuff.

What I would do, if you can find it. Punch the louvres directly into the hood like the old school hot rodders do. They use a punch specially designed for the purpose.

The only problem I see is how do you handle water that drips into the engine compartment?

A louver press would be sweet. Then you could put in as many and what ever size you wanted.. depending on the die.

I was kinda wondering the ame. If they are in that wide position then it will be right over top the main relay panel on the passenger side

X2^^ What he said Punching them in and custom fabbing a drip tray would be sweet. I like the look of them as is but being punched into the hood would look even better. Either way I think it has potential

As long as they are functional and not stuck on with two sided tape....go for it. Maybe paint them a flat black or the body color so they don't scream out to you. As for your poll, I can't say yes or no so wash your car.
