    Personally I would never put them on my car, but I do not think they look bad on the cars I have seen them on. I always thought of them as more of a Mustang II kind of thing.

    I think they would look better if the "fins" were facing the right direction. Seem backwards to me.

    The slats are bass ackwards I can just see the wind catching them at the drag strip and catching the guy behind me. Now if they faced the other way that would be a different story I dont know why the person that made them in the first place didnt do it seems like it wouldnt be any harder to fab

    Just say 'NO'!

    Also as was said above the slats are made backwards so that they catch the wind.

    They look quite unattractive to me.

    Maybe you should ask what carburetor to run instead.

    Hey now! Someone may have the skills to massage, refine, modify, re-shape, or otherwise "tune" those louvers to eliminate blind spots, create less wind resistance, and look more attractive. Not everyone is ignorant like Me.
