Hood Vent Insert REMOVE

Hi,


I don't know what the real name of this =





Question is :


01-)Is this just cosmetic or there is some usage ?
02-)Can I open this so I can have more air flow in my engine bay ?


Thank you.

Yep. When the Camaro first came out, there was some that cut it open and figured out that the slot is too small and made zero difference in air flow. So unless you have some idea to make it look cool, there is no reason to mess with it.

There is/was a kit to convert it to functional, but again, super small and a lot of work for not much. Better off to have functional hood vents.

Thank you so much for the information.


So, I will not bother with this because I am already buying some hood vents.

Thank you.

It only defines the difference between the SS V8 and the V6 Camaro which does not have, purely visual cosmetic!!
