Hood louvers on an RS?

What do you guys think about about it, too ghetto or maybe look good? Does anyone have any pics?

ive personally seen it on a maroon RS and it looked kinda weird case there were no IROC decals or anything but hey it looks better than the stock hood

since u have a 91, how about you go with hood blisters...that will look better

Hawk's sells some aftermarket 91-92 style hood blisters that are made for the flat hoods. I just put some on my RS, and I think they look better than the louvers would. I don't think the louvers would go on the flat hood without some metal work anyway.

No, they are not painted yet, but here is a pic to give you an idea of what they look like. I need some other paint work done on my car, so I was just thinking about rattle-canning them black for now, then having them done blue when I can get the rest of the car done.
