They are SO 70's/80's, and tacky as hell!
They go along perfectly with the ghetto/mullet stereotype IMO

Should I grow my mullet now, or do I have to wait until I get the louver installed?
I've posted the pics to other FBody sites, and get about a 40/60 split on like/dislike of the louvers. I've been hesitant to post them here, as I know how the narrow minded crowd here can be. (No offense to anyone).

And the pictures are when it was flat black, and are of poor quality. It'll look a little or a lot better once finished (depending on your disposition toward louvers).

That's honestly the first 4th-gen I've seen with louvers, and I don't like it!
I really try to be open minded (remember this thread?).....I could actually see a nice car under some of the things the guy did to that yellow Camaro, but louvers on a 4th-gen!?

Sorry.

Oh, and I've gone through the original photos again and resized them a bit larger -and replaced the poorer quality/sized ones for a better view, since the original post above.

I don't think the louvers look bad I just wouldn't spend more than 10 bucks to get them 
Edited I forgot to say red was an example

Paying to get your entire car painted from stock red to some other red that looks exactly the same and expect everyone to notice

You want doors that open like that? Get a Lamborghini, Delorean, old Mercedes (gullwing doors) or a Mclaren F1.

Another vote for Altezza's and Huge Spoilers.
And haven't seen it yet - but here's a vote for "Angel Eye" headlights on LS1 Camaro's.
And to be totally honest - I don't like the look of clear corners on many cars at all. I like it on most white and silver cars - just because they blend in so well. Everything else should have blacked out clear corners if you want it to look good. (Not getting into the safety debate).

Like someone said earlier, I too hate those fake Hid blueish headlights. I also don't like painted interiors.

Dang!!! I think you listed everything Auto zone and Advance sells lol!!. "chrome with silver accents" good looking out on that one. It has to be one or the other. "dash covers" I dont see how i forgot those (they're played out too), and also very tacky. But to each his own (dont kill me )
Kandied 91: You can rock your mullet for as long as you like
so long as you keep that bad azz 3rd gen looking good. I got a surprise for some of the 3rd gen owners. Carbon fiber Headliners!!!! I've already made a fiberglass one so the carbon is next. Now THIS is not a ricer-ish or tacky mod. BTW I just bought some red C/F (hint-hint) I'll hit cha G-book when I'm done so you can give me your opinion on the job.Oh, and when did the practice of painting flames go in the trash. All I see are vinyl decals these dayz. Anybody who knows cars knows that Paint it first, and use decals as a last resort.

Halo's!!!!!!!
BMW styled angel eyes, where the outer ring of the headlight illuminates. Now that is a new 2004 mod that I cant find anything wrong with. All the ones I've seen look dern good and I "might" go the same route.
