ok so here ya go. my new idea for bringing 50s style louvers to the new era cars. i did the cobalt hood first since i have one...LOL. you can do alot with the louvers. you can add some, take some away, change the design, slat em, do em upside down so that the louvers is on the underside and the hood is smooth looking on top. really the possibles and endless. since im not a supporting vendor yet i cant sell em here on the forum, but here are some pix for ya. and feel free to ask questions.

 

umm...........ok

 

that looks pretty sick

 

I usually side with you bro, but in this case... i don't think i like it... it's just a little too busy and maybe too many maybe fewer larger ones off to the sides might look better


but its definitely some great work

 

exactly my thoughts. it looks very well put together, just a little bit much.

 

Nah dont like it, but nice work making the top look real clean.

 

eh not digging it

 

lol definately different

 

ahh i don't know what to say..... I think its to new of a car for that hood style.

 

I like the hood, but that bumper is awful.

 

that is the ugliest hood i have ever seen!lmao

 

Honestly I have to see it as a finished product and painted.

At first I didn't know what to think but I think it could be badass.

 

 

I'm with the other constructive critisizers on here. It's too much in one area. I think a smaller number on each side would look effin tight.

Not a bad idea at all, just not the right design.

P.S. the front bumper is borderline comedic. Shave about half that front lip off.

 

I'm not one for something that doesn't look bone stock (I like the sleeper look )
But... maybe it wouldn't look so bad if the louvers were shorter (height wize), longer (front to back like), and not so many of them.

 

that different but to each his own. look pretty good man

 

too many vents for me however good quality like 3 or 4 big ones on either side like a wrx or skyline hood would be nice but i personally thing it's a bit much

 

the lip is goin to be gone eventually....LOL...im still design whats it gonna look like. it will be done over the winter.


as for the hood comments. thank you all so far for ur comments good and bad. like i said above the design of the louvers can be changed to a persons taste. keep the comments comin...i can do 4" and 3" louvers. thank

 

My Papaw has them on his 56 Chevy and i HATE THEM because when your car is setting water will get on top of your engine.

 

if you do some nice bigger louvers that would be something i'd like to see

 

well im gonna go against the grain on this one.

i personally think it looks great.
definately a mean stealth look.

if any suggestion i would agree with slightly bigger louvers and a few less. but major props to you on originality. well done

 

Well I am pretty sure that no one will ever accuse TSA of conforming to what everyone else thinks looks good. If there is one member that goes for originality its him

 

X2.. Props to you for doing something original! I wuv me some louvers on 50's mercs.

 

Looks good on this...

Not on the balt. Yours is pretty clustered too.

 

I agree with most of the comments. But if you put a few larger ones in reverse on the front of the hood, it may help keep the SC temps down
