Thanks for the info, Jeff, Yes, if you could tell me where you got your louvers and an approximate price I can compare to what the dealer wants for the XKR ones. I need to have a good re-do of the front area paint anyway, so I'm thinking of using that occassion to get the louvers installed, as well. --- And, what about your final drive, still 2.88:1?
