Default Top Vent question

Hello

We I finally picked up my C7 from NH (Macmulkin). Great service and really good guys in the Corvette group. By the way they have approx. 40 plus C7s for sale so if your looking give the Corvette team a call.

Do anyone know if the vents on top of the C7 and the Z06 are the same size? They look like they are. I was just wondering if I could change the C7 vents to the Z06 vent if that makes since. I have a Z51 if that makes a diff.

I'm having a senior moment trying to remember what vent is on the top of the car. The vents on the hood are different sizes. The vents on the rear quarters are the same size opening -- just remove the quarter panel and there are three bolts underneath the vents.

You do not have to remove the quarter panels. Just loosen them and you will get your hands inside the remove the retainer screws.

OK, I like loosening rather than removing. Cool thanks for the information and if anyone has done this please send me pics.
