Cuttin the hood


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey all.. This pertains to Lumina owners mainly, or anyone who has done this before..

 

I went out to 101 Auto a few weeks back and got myself a set of Z34 hood vents.. I also needed to buy a new hood after the accident.. The Z hood I got the vents off of is shot, so I need to know basically how I cut my current hood.. I see where they go as plain as day.. I need to know how to place them, and the like.. Like because where the vents sit in the Z hood, it is recessed.. But I won't be doin that unless I have to.. Anyone whos can help me out on this, I would be most appreciative! Thanks!

i'd save yourself the trouble and just get a Z34 hood. i guess that isn't very helpful :(

Yeah it's great how all the first gen Lumina hoods are indentical, the Z34s just have those slots cut out. I checked into it and it looks like a BIG project cause you have to them cut just right. I asked a couple bodyshops to do it for me and they quoted me $600-$800 to install them and paint the entire hood. :roll: I can get a new hood for less than that, so that is the route I'm going. Good luck.
