Hood Louvers?? yay or nay

What do you guys/ladies think about hood louvers on the c5 camaro? Replicating first gen styling. I like the idea, but would like some other opinions and input on this!

I don't care for them. In the end it is up to you..... do you like them?

To me they are in the same boat as the door that raise up instead of out. Just plain odd.

Here's what I found. Considering this camaro was sort of based and styled off the first gen, some of the accents should possibly be an option. IE original ss emblems, gill louvers, hood louvers. Retrousa.net carries some of this, IMO bumpers may be over the top..

NO on all but the gill trim, but not for the $199 they are asking for 2 pieces of ABS plastic with Vinyl overlays... For that kind of construction they shouldn't be more than $50....
