I'm not big on louvers, but that sounds like a fair price.

My bowtie tailgate skin has a plate on the back side to keep water out. Roll pan louvers don't need nothing.

To save weight and bigger rims and a lower profile tire can improve handling.
But vents on a rollpan is just personal taste I guess

I think it would not be an attractive add-on too 80's but then again I'm bagging mine and some feel that's tacky

Pete its your truck, do the louvers if you like them. I like them. To say its too 80s, well the trucks are 80s and 70s. People are now pinstriping and putting on whitewalls too. That dates a vehicle also, but alot of people like that. I like louvers, pinstripes, etc. Maybe try a louvered tailgate insert that can be removed if you change your mind.
