    Custom Stainless Louvre ?

    A couple years ago someone posted photo's of a one of kind custom fabricated Stainless Steel louvre on the Old.com. Does anyone remember who's car it was and if there are any photos available of it? I'm referring to the ALL stainless version not the skin kit version.

    I saw it at a PADMC tech session at Dave Stragand's house in 2009. Here is a link to photos and contact info for Ron Crouse, who had it made: http://www2.hypervolt.net:8080/galle...1475&g2_page=3 I remember it was priced in the thousands but looked nice.

    Thanks Jeff,

    Those are the photo's I was looking for. It would be nice to put those in a permanent Photo album on here along with the photos of the "Skin kit" version for future reference. I've heard that there are about 3 of that version out there. I've Only seen 1 photo of that version it was a B/W photo.

    There is an owner here in PA who has a similar louver setup. It's not one giant plate, but they attach on each row of them individually, over the original louver, but they look great. I'll see if I can find some pics of them.

    WOW that thing is wild. I'm honestly torn about my opinion on it's looks, however; I cannot help but be amazed by it's craftsmanship. That thing is a work of art!

    custom louver?

    Dennis does it sound like your thinking of building one for yourself?

    I think they look nice, but how much weight does that add to the car?

    I'm curious of the same thing. I would guess it's at least twice the weight of the fiberglass. Of course you definitely dont have to worry about it cracking!
