intern8tion9l Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 ok so i have a pair of z34 louvers, and a pair of tgp louvers; one of them is going on my car. i think i like the look of the z34 ones better, but the tgp ones are more of a rare item, and it could be kind of a little tribute or something since i'm running the tgp engine. i also think the tgp ones would be easier to make fit and look decent. thoughts?

5speedz34 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The TGP ones would look better IMO. I wouldn't put either on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The TGP ones would look better IMO. I wouldn't put either on though. Yeah, in all honesty, I think it would be no contest with the tgp ones on there. That would free the z34 ones to go on the doors or fenders. think about it.

slick Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would definately put a set on the fenders. Make sure they are functional. Better yet, mount a set on the lower valence. Probably would keep the trans cooler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 ^Haha. Too bad the fenders don't lead to the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern8tion9l Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 ok fine i'll put the z34 ones on the quarters in front of the rear tires to vent my huge 94+ brake upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ok, to get back on topic, my question for you: Do you have the availabilty to have the louver's flush mounted? If so, I'd do the Z34. If not, I'd do the TGP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'd do the Z34. If not, I'd do the TGP. the reason i picked up the z34 is cause i wanted them flush mounted and molded in.....if the hood material and the louver material can even be welded together. and i for one am no good with a welder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 i didnt even know they were steel. it would be easier to put a few tacs in there with a tig and then grind that off and bondo the rest. I wouldnt really weld a bead around them, since im assuming they are much thinner than the hood material and thats getting yourself into a whole nother bag of potato chips.

slick Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I can't quite remember what material they are made of, but high temps on them are definately a weak point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Oh. well welding is probably not the best option. I have a bead roller, but I dunno if it does edges, i know it makes grooves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacmaniac94 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I can't quite remember what material they are made of, but high temps on them are definately a weak point. they are indeed metal, i just dont know why you wouldnt use the drip pans and just screw them straight to the hood. The hard part would be putting the holes in the hood, attaching them would be a piece of cake. just make sure you dont get too long of scews and go through the hood.....
