BN Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Added some junkyard hood vents to my 96 Grand Prix. Next project a rear spoiler. Quote
94 olds vert Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) OMG. I can't believe how good those vents look now. They look great on your GP. Very cool. Edited September 8, 2011 by 94 olds vert Quote
GOT2B GM Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 How did the cutting go? What tools did you use? Did you make a template from the j/y car? The reason I ask is because I want to add the vents to my 94 CS vert. Quote
94 olds vert Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 I sold the vents to him. He took it up to a local shop and had them paint and install those. Quote

The reason I ask is because I want to add the vents to my 94 CS vert. I had a body shop do them. I took pics and measurements from a Grand Prix on a local used car lot. I did lay the vents on my 93 CS vert just to see and they just didn't look right as the hood lines are different. Quote
Mel87 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Looks awesome man! So those vents actually function? Quote
94 olds vert Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Looks awesome man! So those vents actually function? Well, they are heat extractors. You can see heat coming out of them. Quote
Mel87 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 That's pretty neat, they look real good on there. Atleast it isn't the Pep Boys stick on vents that serve no purpose. Quote

virtuetovice Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 I can't stand the fender vents...or the stick-on hood scoops. But anyway, looks like the body shop did a top-notch job. The vents compliment those style wheels unusually well. Quote

white4d96 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 How much did they charge you? Quote
BN Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Posted September 10, 2011 How much did they charge you? $100. That included filling and fixing one of the vents that was a little gouged up, painting, cutting the holes, and mounting. Quote
94 olds vert Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 Wow that's a pretty good price. If I can find the 89-93 vents I'll have that shop put them on. What's the name of that shop? Quote
white4d96 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 $100. That included filling and fixing one of the vents that was a little gouged up, painting, cutting the holes, and mounting. That is amazing. I need a shop like that around here... Quote

I did lay the vents on my 93 CS vert just to see and they just didn't look right as the hood lines are different. You heard the man . . . Chinese Matt, time to sell louvers to Breakdown. Quote
jeremy Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 they did a damn good job with that install/paint match! Quote
BN Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Posted September 12, 2011 they did a damn good job with that install/paint match!Yeah they did, I started to do it myself but figured I'd have half that much money in paint and supplies and if I screwed it up I'm looking for a new hood. They screw it up they fix it. Quote
