I ordered the sides with 3 rows of louvers. It's not going to be as "open" as the original sides but I think will be open enough. I like the no sides look as well and considered that. My Buddy and my Wife both think the sides look better. I really couldn't make up my mind. After burning myself on the headers and thinking about my grandkids being around at times, I decided to go with the sides.
