A noob question: why need a louver? Cannot just put a simple mesh?

 

[alantjw]

maybe hardware shop. i know they have aluminium sheet. maybe can use it and make louvers.

anyone know where to get cheap vents or scoops? Brothers selling around RM60 for the scoop. not sure if can get any cheaper.

 

[ken yeang]

I think scoops can be found at kedai potong.......I saw them at jalan reko, kedai potong have a few.....
I dont know if the scoop design suits your taste or not...

Step 2 nearly done (making louvers)..so far 1 side is near completion...just need to fine tune it...btw all done by hand wiz d help of my fren who runs a body knocking workshop :)

better find from kedai potong bro, kedai abang selling those elcheapo ones summore stick on.

Kedai abang ones are made of plastic.....I suspect it would deform after being under the afternoon sun....
Better ones are made of (thick) fiberglass.

Now thinking aka trying to decide whether to install netting after d louvers OR without???if without then d louvers will 'timbul'...

 

[ken yeang]

fazidk, it is advisable to have the wire mesh (netting). Many car with standard louvers comes with wiremesh.
