New Hood Louvers

They can be install on any car . I was amazed at the amount of heat that come out of them when the fan turns on. I'm know it's just another CLK ___PTE___

How difficult was this process? I really like how it turned out. Don't know if I'd take the plunge and do it to my E55, but I would be tempted...

opinions

Nij :
I respect your opinion , you said it Nicely . It was a toss up between function & form. Trying to let the heat out . And preserving the lines of the Car. You do not see them ,sitting at the drivers seat. and as you walk up to the car they don't jump out at you right away. But after you notice them , you start to look too them and form a opinion . Thats what makes living here in the U.S.A. great!
your opinion is well under stood Thanks ___PTE___
