I wonder if coffee is my problem... I've cut back to less than 20 cups a day now, though.

..that might be it.

The early cars, like mine, are individual louvre's. Each one slides into slots top and bottom and come out the back.

You might want to consider a mild polish. Depending on the color, this can be a nice detail.

I don't know the answer to that question, but I bet a careful inspection of my louvers would tell me. Let me toss down a few more cups of coffee and I'll try and figure that out. I'll also try and figure out whether you take them out from the front or back. Of course, I'll post pics.;)

The optional venting looks like a good option, especially for my car, since it will not have a hood scoop, as it's another way to vent the under hood heat.



Great photos ... I'll go for (2) sets, one set with body color (to keep) and the other set either polished metal, painted silver or painted black ??? ... one of those is what I'll start with.



Thanks.

patrickt:

On the newer cars the whole aluminum back inner fender panel can be removed. It is held in by screws (the better to swap out for the more expensive "vented" panels). If the duct to the foot box is carefully removed the whole thing should come out.
