C7 Hood Vent on a C4?
Do you think that a C7 hood vent would fit a C4 with only minor modifications? By minor I mean no fiberglass work other than cutting the existing hood!

I've thought something like one may look good but I think the hood is kinda wrong for the fitment. Someone just put an aftermarket vent that was similar on their c4 not too long ago. If you do a search you may find it.

No way. Hoods are different shapes.

What year?
You could cut the slats in I guess. Someone here recently just put something like that on a l98 IIRC
"l98tpi"?

You're also asking for stress cracking where you cut into it.
