My thinking is I feel they add a certain air to the cars appearance, a mystic, sinister effect. Kind of a car Darth Maul would drive.

The louvers took the fabricator 14 hours, Matt took another 8 tweaking them and the paint shop had to redo them 4 times before they let them leave their shop with their name on them. Lots of filling weld imperfections etc. but now they are like glass.

So what do you think? Did I hit a home run with these? Do they make the car or not????













just an idea but if you could find a ABS fabricator to make some of these up you might be able to sell a bunch of them and make up the cost of the original?

heres an idea that may or may not work, with your current dimensions a 3d printer may be able to make them. Youd just have to find a printer big enough.

I'm interested in a set.... defiantly would like to see her in person though. Looks great in my opinion. I love the old school looks. I'm even thinking about getting some old school rims for mine.
