91GPSTE Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Did anyone do a write up on how to install hood louvers on none hood louver car? I have a spare GP hood laying around and want to try to put in Z34 louvers to see how they would look in a GP hood. Just wondering do Z34 louvers fit flush with the hood so the holes must be cut perfectly or are they the same way as GP louvers that overlap the hood? Quote
J Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 the z34 hoods are stampped. i'd hate to see someone try this and make it look good. you'd have to measure 1000 times and weld a flange on and hope the vent sit flush with the hood. I'd say just get a used hood, not putting gtp hood vents on a stock hood is different, cut hole. plop in and go Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Anyone put louvers onto a CS hood? I want to say I've seen someone that did it but I honestly can't remember. Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 just get a GTP hood for your Prix, it'd be alot cheaper and easier! Quote
Heza Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Z34 louvers in a GTP hood looks dumb as hell! a guy around here did it with his GP..his car looks stupid as hell. ill try and get a picture of it. Quote
91GPSTE Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Posted September 22, 2004 just get a GTP hood for your Prix, it'd be alot cheaper and easier! Been trying over and over but where I live no one has it. There are no GTPs, TGPs or STEs in junkyards just shitty LEs and SEs. One guy has a hood but it's dented and louver is cracked and he wants $250 for it. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Im installing Louvres into my stock Lumina hood.. But for the GPs, I dont think the location is stamped for these things like the Lumina hood is.. Good luck! Quote
Jcrow Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 I just put '80s trans am hood vents into my cutlass Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 I just put '80s trans am hood vents into my cutlass pics? I can't picture what the t/a vents look like.. Quote
90TGP Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 I've seen Z34 louvers on a Beretta and a Typhoon before. Quote

91GPSTE Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Posted September 23, 2004 Been searching on that site every day in hopes that it gets updated. Only 2 yards in Ontario have them and both will only see a complete hood. Quote
jeremy Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 Anyone put louvers onto a CS hood? I want to say I've seen someone that did it but I honestly can't remember. I want to, but I don't have the balls to try it.... Quote

I want to, but I don't have the balls to try it.... Yeah our hoods are so flat and boring...sorta....I think our cars might look better with a slight cowl even.... ah, Oldsmobile... Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 LOL, yeah Olds' hoods are kinda blah. It's funny that even the top-ended Cutties with the 3.4L never came with fancy hood louvers...only the Prix and the "parts car" Lumina did....LOL, funny that we had that option being "parts cars".

cutlsp Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 oldsmobiles are SLEEPERS its that simple Quote
midnight rider Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 how about a cowl induction scoop like the old z28 camoros had.... Quote
slick Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 how about a cowl induction scoop like the old z28 camoros had.... I've wondered what that would look like on a Z34, minus the hood vents of course. Quote
