Any of them can be opened up. The ones on the TGP are the largest of all three. These things are like over a foot long. If you look at my sig pic you can see they are almost half the length of the hood.

speeking of hood lovers, did the Lumina sedan or the GP sedan come with hood lovers. :?:

 

No, only the GTP, Z34, and TGP had them.

 

Then the ones I saw that had them, they must of put them on there.

I remember looking at the vents on an STE and they looked difficult to open up. I dont disagree that they are huge, but when open, the z34 louvers are GAPING HOLES!!!! hehehe

I beg to differ. With the GP sedans, you could get the GT option, which included the 3.4L DOHC with the hood louvers. I've also seen them on the Lumina's with the 3.4L option, also factory.

are they difficult to add?

does it make it more difucult to keep the engine compartment clean?

 

the reason i ask is the yard i was at with Mac a couple weeks ago had a Z-34 hood i believe. was wondering if it would be worth the effort.

well to set the Story Straight I know on the GP's

 

The hood louvers did come on both sedan and Coupes.

 

the STE turbos all have the long hood louvers. as found on the 89-90 TGP's and the 91 GTP's

 

The some 96 GT sedans with the 3.4L have hood louvers. but where the smaller "gay" looking ones found on the newer GTP's 94-96
