L67LuminaEuro Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 I was looking at the hood of my Euro 3.1 Sedan and got to thinking about the Z hood. I like how it would look on my sedan. So since i was insanely bored i took off the underhood mat and there they are. The hood support ( hood frame whatever its called) has the two big cut outs and two screw locations. The is same for both drivers and pass side. I can get dollies and rollers from the Eastwood company to bend the lips of the hood when i cut out the vents. My questions this is this a decent way about doing this mod compared to finding a Z hood? For now im going to cut the hood and put the vents in. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 I'd get a Z34 hood before I even thought about cutting my stock one. Quote
White93z34 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 someone on here just cut his stock hood to fit the louvers with fair results. Quote
Euro Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 I didn't know there were places on regular Lumina hoods where the vents could be. I would try to find a hood first instead of cutting. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 x a million on cuttin a junk one first. I have two hoods here you can practice on if you were close Quote
L67LuminaEuro Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Posted May 28, 2007 Hey all thanks for replies. I just need to find another hood like you all say for obvious reasons. Though id ask. Its weird how the hoods on regular luminas have the stamped inner structure ready for vents. Anyway back to work tomorrow. I hate my job. Got to clean house then work on Impala. Later all until i work on the Lumina to show its progress off. Late all. Quote
Hairdo12 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 It can be done... measure 50 times, cut once. I made lots of paper templates. Quote
5speedz34 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 I know a place where you can get an aftermarket hood for $175. Quote
AWeb80 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Posted June 2, 2007 I got Z louvers For Sale if you want them. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 I know a place where you can get an aftermarket hood for $175. Thats pretty damn cheap for an aftermarket hood! Id jump on that! I think I paid $240 for mine and that was with a discount! Quote
