Has anyone used a louver press on their hoods? I think it looks really good and might be cheaper than a vented hood. Here's what i'm talking about. Post a picture if you have one, i couldnt find any on s chassis.

If you have a louver press it's a great idea.
If you hafta pay someone else to do it for you, it's a bad idea.
Shits time consuming. Especially if you're paying hourly labor.
Personally I think it looks rad when used minimally.

I think it would be rad if the louvers were like 6inches wide

It would be rad if the louvers looked like drop vents.

It would be rad if the louvers looked like NACA ducts.

Were working on making a louvered hood. I'll have details in a few weeks.
