    Hood louvers

    Was just wondering how much the hood is weakened with the hod scoop and louver holes. My scoop is in but am considering adding louvers. Louver dimensions are 4" x 21".

    V-Raptor aluminum louvers? By the time the inner and outer layers are bonded there is no noticeable weakening.





    Be aware that there's a bunch of work in the fitting and finishing though.

    They're not V-Raptor. They're on Amazon. Made of carbon fiber. Dimensions of 4 x 21. I don't need them that long but am still looking for shorter ones. I like the look of the V-Raptor but don't want them near the stripe. I'm planning something a little different for the stripe. A 4 x 16 inch would be perfect.
