Lotsa hole are KOOL.

Of course......you don't want all of that wind buildup inside your car when you go through the traps at 200 mph!!

i like the louvers!

 

You have already gone this far, go for it! Looks good.

 

They look cool...did you make the panel?

 

Louver, louver, and louver.

 

Keep the louvers gives it that 50's look.

 

Do it!!

 

This is NOT a question to ponder...............louvers man, louvers!!!!!!!!

 

Would'nt be for me, my trunk leaks water bad enough without them.

 

I will take a different path here. I have had a heavily louvered car before. It really sucks in the rain. I think they can be fun to look at, but there are trade offs. They also make great spider doorways. The car isn't quite as clean looking with that many louvers. I would probably try to balance it out somehow, with a similar hood, and not have just a louvered deck lid. But that's me. Good looking car you have going there!

 

Louvers.

 

Louvers...........punched in STEEL

 

No louvers! I like clean & smooth, easy to wax without a tooth brush!

 

No Louvers!
It looks better without them!
just my 3 cents
Nice Rod

 

Thank you!

 

uh, the panel without the louvers isn't exactly straight or all one color and therefore doesn't look as good based on that alone. I'm a louver fan so I say go with louvers. It's like comparison pics of a person with a blank stare and a smile. Are their teeth really brighter in the pic with a smile or does it just look better because of the expression?

 

use the louvers. at least thats what i'd do.

 

You're really missing something if you have never sanded louvered panels. Block sanding through wetsanding your fingers will never be as clean, soft, thin or bloody again.

 

then you're going to slow.... LOUVERS!

 

I dont know about you but I require food, drink, and sleep so there is the ocasional moment my car sits still and since I use it to travel more than 50 miles from its garage, rain is an issue for me.

 

Go with the louver's man they look Tits!!!

 

has anyone ever installed louvers over top of a solid panel, so you can have the look and still keep the trunk dry?

 

Then I guess you should run a hood as well I have a louvered hood on my Buick and rain doesn't stop me.

 

Without a doubt - punch it.

 

What the hell do I need a hood for? Mine runs fine without one and i drive it in driving rain storms. My trunk is finished, and I use it, so I prefer to keep my shit dry. Louvers on a hood are practical they remove heat, I got no heat to remove in my trunk.

 

don't do it....so by the time my coupe is done it won't seem like I just do all the "trendy" stuff!!!!

 

louvers are like women... wait, no they aren't. Anyways... You need 'em!
