What's HA's opinion of stamped hood louvers on a tib? I wouldnt want the cheap fake plastic louvers you can buy at pep boys. I want an all metal hood with some customization to it, so I was thinking about taking it to a speed shop that does alot of stuff on classic and muscle cars to have them stamp a short line of louvers on the driver and passenger side. Kind of like this

Only if done very, very well. Consider using different lengths of cuts to go with different width of the part being modified. The bracing under the hood would probably have to be removed and welded back on later.
