Guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 I'm real new to this board ::cough::first post::cough:: Anyway, I've got a '93 Grand Prix LE and was wondering if the Lumina Z34 hood would be a direct fit on my car? The other question: What model Grand Prix came with the louvered hood, and where can I get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Sorry, it won't fit. The Grand Prix GTP came with the louvered hood, as well as the STE 4 door. (I think it's the STE) Anyways, good luck finding one of those, GTP's are way more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeorge Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 well yes and no it mounts the same but a GP hood does not have that fold over edge on the front....so it would look Funnie..... I have stuck a GP hood on a lumina just to drive it after putiing a new motor in......but if your asking if it would match then the answare is NO welcome to the boards.....you want the hood for just the vents? I would say get some STE or TGP vents and put them one take a look at the ones on thes cars ste_turbo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 ok, so now my next question has to be if those are actually cosmetic, or functional louvers? Is there an actual hole in the underside of the hood that allows the louvers to be functional? ...Yeah Jeorge you got me, I'm asking just so I can get the louvers, but I need more clarification on their functionality. ...PS. Are the louvers the only diff. bet. the stock LE/GT hood and the GTP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lumina Z34 hood has a rain gutter in it stock.. i unscrewed 4 or 5 nuts on each side and walla gutter out and vents are 100% functional. you should see the heat roll out of thoes vents after my supercharger gets hot. Its almost cartoon like i can see the heat waves rolling out. RedZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, sorry to be a pain in the ass, but do you happen to have a link to his homepage? I just went to the link you posted and could not, for the life of me, figure out how to get to his homepage.
