Those louvers probably wouldnt look so bad if he had stopped there.

The tailight/plate/C5 stuff makes it look like a Barbie car. Just too much.

I love the hood on that black car, but louvers look bad on c4's. THey make the car look even more dated.

The one piece louvers look better than the 3 piece. That being said, they only look good on someone else's car.
