Someone posted a question about engine lid louvers.
Vintage, JPS & IM can retro fit Carrera louvers into your existing engine lid. It is not a difficult process for them nor is the price out of reach. Give them a call.
Beside looking very cool, IMO, one would assume they also are functional by adding cooler outside air directly above the carbs. While it may be debateable what if any real gain in performance you would receive, still, you have to figure Porsche had a purpose, not even factoring in the grin on your face every time you look at the louvers on your car. Now if only we could get JPS to develop the GT airboxes that Porsche had attached beneath the louvers...
Wait a minute! What was I thinking here? These louvers don't look cool! Fact is they suck, don't add them to your car! You will be sorry if you do. (Man, next thing you know swinging dick is going to want them on their cars...)
