Default Idea for hood mod

Do you think that the 2014 C7 hood louvers would fit into the C5 hood with some modification ? I want to do some mods, but do not want an extra hood laying around the house?

Not sure. The C7 has a lot of hard lines, and the C5 has much
more smooth lines.

Great mod idea. Reminds me of when owners cut the split window out of their 63 coupe so it would look like a 64. Add some fuzzy dice instead

That would be my concern.

Like the imagination - but go for the fuzzy dice.

You probably could make anything work! BUT....

Where in the world are you going to get the C7 louvers from? I know you ain't gonna buy a C7 hood to cut up!

I do know that a good body man can easily incorporate aftermarket lovers to look very similar to the C7! all they will need is a good picture!

Thanks,Matt

Here are some CF C7 Hood Louvers - a little pricey though but might turn out pretty nice:
