I am thinking about to press some louvers in the decklit of my black `62. What do you think? Is that Cal Look?

I think they are more suited to a de-chromed car personally Lee Edit-and I really like your car as it is  |

Cal-look would be to leave the decklid at home  |

Why not get a cab deck lid and paint it to match your car?

Do you need to admit more fresh air into engine?
If so, maybe consider doing like the 1974- cars (maybe North America only?) had the air flap vent behind license plate?
The old VW number for it was 133-827-601. If you can find a good working one, maybe work that into your stock decklid....
I've thought about doing something similar to the vent behind license plate on my '67 and removing lower standoff.

I´m not shure, but give it a try on a spare hood. If you don´t like it, I could try it on mine  |

I personally like louvres, but am with Lee, I don't think they'd suit that particular (very very nice btw) car.

No!! They'll end up sucking cool air out of the engine bay

No don't do louvres. And if you do then you have to go all the way for that look. And paint your car orange,yellow or pink... Henk!!! |
