Re: Hood Louvers? (scorp508)
I'm sure those are functional too. :yesnod: I have heard that the heat under the hood is what kills the alternators and batteries so it would lower the underhood temp as well as look awesome. I wonder what a set would cost with installation and painting?
Scorp do you still have all the pictures of that Black Vette. That thing was awesome looking. :yesnod:

Re: Hood Louvers? (CowboyNVette)
I bet you could about do it yourself... they fit on top of the cut, so... take the louvers to your local maaco and have them shoot them body colour, and then take a saw and cut away...
I would say $200.00 or so for paint...
scorp - your dream vette! this looks pretty cool!

Re: Hood Louvers? (CowboyNVette)
I would like to know a price on those too. I could really use them, due to the extra heat under my hood. Would like to see a picture of the underside of the hood if anyone has one.

Re: Hood Louvers? (KNCRSR5R)
You'd think they'd put the price on their site since they want your money. It's a lot easier to fork it over when you see the link to buy it.
Anyone had them INSTALLED, as in not yourself putting them in. I was wondering what a total cost would be, parts and all if anyone has experience doing so. :smash:

No thanks. The only things on that car that you would seem me doing is the painted b-pillar in black.
