Ed/DV Combs:

I've heard great things about this forum, and obviously they are true. Thanks for the quick reply. I did an exhaustive search on the internet to figure out how these louvers should look.

It appears some people just mount them on the inside of the body, set back a little, which would mean the oversized ones would still work, but probably not look so great. The nicer ones appear to fit within the cutout, putting the fins further to the outside, which probably actually allows them to function.

Looks like I'll have to contact the local tinners shop, and have them fabricate something out of stainless that will work. How do most people attach them? Do they bond them to the inner fiberglass wall?

Of course it would have been great if the parts where actually supplied when I bought the kit, but I guess thats water under the bridge by this point.

I'm also looking for a good car cover. Probably one for the garage, and a waterproof one for the just in case purposes. I do have a soft top for the car as well, but I'm not liking the idea of adding the rivets/buttons along the back of the car to attach it. Maybe some day in the future. Right now its too sexy to mess with. I know the CR Cobra is a little longer and wider, so I might get stuck with a non-custom one. Any thoughts?
