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.
