Hi I'm Tom, and New as of today to this forum - I have an 05 Windveil Blue s197 coupe I've owned since 07. Bought it outright and new with 4k on the odo- It's been a few years now and I'm ready to throw a little bit more at the car - looking forward to getting ideas and advice as well sharing- I work as a body tech - here is My car as it sits now.

Right now a few cosmetics and a few bolt on's-

I'm running a Zex wet kit on it at 100hp jetting - diablosport predator - bbk cai - pypes true dual - accell coil, taylor wires, zex plugs - would like to upgrade the rear with a bolt up 8.8 3:73

I completely ripped out the interior shortly after getting the car - did the carbon dash, console put new black carpet, deleted back seat- re-upholstered the seats from grey cloth to black leather - spped of sound cup holder nitrous switches - a lot -

The exterior mods - cervinis hood painted - painted the wheels- splitters - vinyl- louvers - tint - grilles- more than i feel describing - but I'm thinking of adding a chin spoiler to this car and swapping out the louvers for scoops - I picked up a rear window louver recently and am having a hard time deciding whether to paint to match or just leave textured black - abs plastic.

design Ideas I suppose -

Thanks! It's been an ongoing project since I bought it Like every car I buy lol. The consensus so far is leaning towards leave it black - so I think I'll stick it on and see how it feels for a while - could always paint it later

What do you think keep the side louvers as is? or switch to scoop louvers and lower scoop with the rear window louver being added?

Ehh that's a tough one. You could start with just putting the lower scoop on and seeing how it looks and then if it dosen't look right switch them. In the end its whatever one you like better I think they both would look good.

Thanks for the input - noted - slim type scoop like cs special or cdc from door to rear fender roll? it can't be that simple
