Modular Hood Louver Kit - Verus Engineering - Page 11 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Got the outer two installed last night (don't mind my brother)

Debating if I should install the Center two due to the turbo being open to water when raining. (if it gets caught in the rain without the rain guards on)

We received some feedback from a customer in Puerto Rico. Photos and quote below:

Customer quote: "Brake cooling was excellent (He had just installed our brake cooling kit as well! All day long brake pedal was firm. Happy customer here. On the louvers, after each season we parked the cars (we had 4 running), mine was the only one with louvers and the only one that the guys were able to open the hood. The others were too hot. Coolant was really cold (183F). I think louvers improved airflow through the radiator." - Billy

I like the way just the two look.

This is true except I've been out of the car scene for a few years and I moved so I don't have anyone in trust more then myself to do it haha.

Are you guys still offering just two on your website? It says they are out of stock.

Yes, we're currently out of all hood louvers and rain guards, minus (2) small units which should still show in stock.

We should have units back in stock in a few more weeks

.

Thanks,
Eric

Awesome and you guys are local so I can swing by and pick them up.

May not be everyone's cup of tea but if enough people ask for it we can do a small production run of these as well.

Thanks,

That actually look better than just the 4 front louvers...

Depends. Imho best "looks" wise only are just two but bigger ones, like eg. CSG sells, but they probably will make bonnet a bit less rigid, as unlike Velox's that are smaller and can be cut/mounted between "ribs", they cut across them.

Actually imho carbon body parts often get too overused in "tuning scene" and actually looks a bit tasteless vs normal body color. Shape looks good, but probably price is far above of what Velox's Vents cost
