Saw this on YouTube. What do you guys think of this louver removing one every other piece? Image Unavailable, Please Login
There are louvers? Sorry, let me look again; I was momentarily blinded when I first opened the post. Man, what a color…..have any shots of the entire car Mike? AFA the louvers go, I’m sure they improve rear 3/4 vision and you probably wouldn’t even notice the mod if you weren’t looking for it. The only drawback I see is the filler neck bib peeking out from behind the slats. - Dave
Yes, there's multiple version of that in the F-verse. Here's mine. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm a fan of keeping them the way they are now. The way the louvers are angled does allow some vision out the louver. If you turn your head, your vision does line up with the space and angle between the slats. It is not a total blind spot.
I can't really see the point in this modification - Apart from just trying to look a little bit different. I own a 328 GTS, and I can't say I have any issues looking back through the louvres (tbh, when I'm on the move, I can't say I ever look through the louvres ever any way - I drive on the mirrors). As for the GTB look: I can't see the point of making my car look like the "lesser" model (cue comments about how the GTB is a superior driver's car and not a "lesser" car, but the fact is, when new, you paid more for a GTS than you did for a GTB, so the GTS was higher up in the Ferrari hierarchy)
Comment cued... As a GTS owner, the model which I much prefer, the minimalist GTB side louvers look cleaner. Like you, I use my mirrors and a turned head. I don't care if functionally they make no difference. GTB side louvers look more appealing. Late 70s and 80s car designs went over the top with the louver fad. btw... As with any commodity, the marketplace decides the "lesser model". Not us.
