Louvered hood and fenders?

Anyone have louvers ("gills") on their hoods or fenders? Ive seen setups for the corvette, but not the camaro. Post pics if you got em, and links would be appreciated.

Then you obviously haven't seen these cars.

I dont know if this merits a new thread, but looking at the fenders reminded me of the wide body kits some cars have... Anyone know where those can be procured? Ive also tried searching but have found relatively little thus far

no one actually produces them. A couple of scammers were floating around a few months back but that's it.

I have seen some z3 style fenders for 4th gens on e-bay. I believe that they were being sold by octane motorsports but there are no current listings for them. From the pictures on the listing, they didn't look that great. However, those euro camaros are sweet. I wouldn't mind taking one of those for a spin around the track.

I have seen the louvred hood as shown in the photo bucket pictures posted a month or so ago so I know the hood was available. I visit seven f-body forums so I can't remember where it was shown, wish I could. As for the louvres on the fenders, those are the first pictures I've seen. Pure race....

First time I've seen anyone say they didn't like those. lol

Those body parts do exist, they were made for/by an Andy Charelston I believe, hence the AC in AC automotive. They were raced overseas in a series that is no longer in existence as far as we can tell.
The makers were contacted a couple years ago and they were willing to send over a kit that we could copy but there issues with anyone coming up with the funds to do it. I don't remember all the details exactly.
