mine have gotten all crooked, and finally the slats are falling off.

options? ive seen some molded looking ones that are a bit spiffier than the flat ones i have.

this is on a finished car.

thanks!

Finishline's are nice. I epoxied 1/4 aluminum angle to the top and bottom of each louver, drilled holes in the face of each angle bracket (for the epoxy to grab) and epoxied them to the inside of the body. They look great and haven't come loose.

James, I've seen the Finish Line louvers and they're beautiful. very substantial looking. I think another shop builds them too, but I don't remember who.

Attaching em is pretty easy. I've seen them attached with epoxy, and with industrial-strength velcro. As I understand it, with epoxy, you smear a big spooge on the inside of the body opening, then apply the louvers, then use wood sticks on the outside of the body and zip-tie the louvers to the sticks until they're dry. This is my plan for when the finishing touches go on the Phoenix car! Good luck Dude.

I looked at SpokaneSnakes a few weeks ago that had been velcro'd on. The fir snug and you can remove them for access to MC and other stuff...

I velcroed mine on with the industrial strength stuff from home depot, the only problem is the velcro is stronger than the bond from the adhesive on the velcro and the body.

That would be Whitby Motors at 336-389-0904 They have a website also. Their Vents are SUPER NICE. Dont know how the price compares to Finish line.

I'll also add praise for Whitby's, ask Jeff about powdercoating them for ya. (not that he does them, but I'm going to powdercoat mine prior to install and possibly cover a few of the seams since they are so small).
