I'll see what I can do for photos. Clay (our salesman) wanted to do something different than everyone else so he grabbed those and installed them.
They do require cutting the hood's structural support but all our hood louvers are fairly universal and he did a great job installing them. Using our CFD, I'd say the louvers are a bit further rearward than "optimal" but I'm confident they work well, especially with the wickers we include with every louver we offer.
I had not planned to do any testing, it takes a lot of work to do what we did initially. I spent a full day sensoring the car, testing before and afters, video of tufts, etc. The FRS/BRZ louvers are in the best location as far as evacuation goes according to our CFD.
The hood louvers themselves are similar to our standard FRS/BRZ offering in louver design and wicker design. I tuft tested them on an S550 and they worked the same as the FRS/BRZ video.
Thanks,
Eric
