Recommended Posts

I bought the louvers/vents off of Ebay and I looked around for some info on how to install GTP louvers/vents on to my 95 Grand Prix SE hood. Any help, input ,or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

:lol: I have access to a air grinder. I was hoping for dimensions of hole to be cut and locations. BTW Jeremy is that air saw??

my body shop guy used a cut-off wheel.

 

i gave him plenty of pics and dim off other cars and the taped the louvers to the hood and then cut the holes out...

 

he said it was the first time he had ever done anything like that, and it turned out GREAT!

and fyi, if you are getting the bigger louvers, make sure you don't cut out the side braces, as you will need them for support.

 

....and the hood I pulled some louvers off of, had some black braces under the hood strut mount.....I have not seen them on any other louvered car....so where they came from, IDK....but they fit PERFECTLY......they are NOT after market....no way you could make these as well as they fit.

if those are TGP louvres, you should sell them to me and find the later louvres :wink:

Those are GTP louvers. They aren't long enough to be TGP.

 

How do I know? I just put a set on my car four days ago. Running around sans louvers in a louvered hood FTMFL. :D

yah, dont listen to them, you could get away with cutting them yourself, but i dont know, i think i would almost want to pay someone to do it, that way, when they screw up, it isnt your fault.
