Default Body Moldings, Hoods, Ground Effects

Body Moldings, Hoods, Scoops, Ground Effects, Spoilers should have there own area, and if they do and I amblind - I apologize.

But does anyone know where I can buy louvers for my back windows on the side and maybe, the rear window too... maybe? but the side windows, definitely.

Next, does anyone know of a company making "Electric" Automatic Adjusting Spoilers that adjust properly to the speed and conditions????

I saw a picture of one on the internet somewhere and it looked good. The guy may have custom made it, but it still looked good.

Not louvers but there is a post in the detailing section about a covering someone found for the back windows of a Monte.

I believe those were stickers that stuck to the glass though.

A speed adjustable spoiler.. Hmm.. Wouldnt be too difficult.. Linear actuator and a hinge of some sort would do it..

Spoilers are used to give more down force to the rear wheels, why do you need more traction on the rear wheel when we are all FWD ???

Why? Stability my man... Stability. Road hugging, tight cornering, pot hole avoiding, jerk passing, accident avoidance stability.

Spoilers are really useless unless you are approaching 90-100 mph or more.

They are really just for looks.

The adjustable spoilers on Porsches to me seem to be mostly for show. Expecially at 60 mph.

Even the hugh spoilers on the CoT's don't really have an effect until 120 mph.

Ok, look at the design of a spolier, it suppose to create downforce on the rear wheels.
Get a handling kit it will do much better, if stability is what your after.
