CNC IROC hood louvers. Has anyone done them?
How's it going everyone. I was wondering if anyone has CNC'd any hood louvers out of aluminum. If so, what was the price tag?

I'd be interested in this. Especially ones that are slotted for heat extraction.

Making function hood louvres would be a perfect project for a 3D printer.

If we can get these with the stock mounting points, I'll freaking love you. So what, we getting these made guys. Hook us up with your connect. Maybe even get the price down? Maybe a refund for you? I don't know, but I'm really heavily interested.

I'd be interested in a pair. Probably wouldn't be the best idea for me running a carb setup with top mount air cleaner. I occasionally get caught in rain.

Maybe we could go for a regular set first, this way more poeple could jump on board without problems. I hope we can get something setup.

Re: CNC IROC hood louvers. Has anyone done them?
I'd really like to figure out a way to get these made. Anyone have a shop willing to try this?

I know we all got side tracked by that other thread, but did anything ever come of having those louvers in the post above made?

Re: CNC IROC hood louvers. Has anyone done them?
I'm surprised he hasn't posted in here yet, but there is a new TGO member that is making functional louvers. Krio I think is his username. They look awesome, but a bit outta my price range at around 250-300 for a set, IIRC. That, and I've also got an open air cleaner on a carb, which I drive all summer long rain or shine

Low profile smooth finish
correct 16 blade design
Under hood shot - left looks closed only because of camera angle
