2014 hood vent on 2011
Sorry if this has been asked, I tried the search function several times and it wasn’t working for me.
Will a hood vent from a 2014 Camaro ss fit on a 2011? Pretty straightforward install if so? Thanks again for the help!

Follow the video and you should be golden. The stressful part is cutting the hole in the hood. Not that its hard….its just the fact your cutting a hole in a nice aluminum hood. Definitely worth it.

Also something to note and be VERY careful of, when you are going to drill your first location hole for the jigsaw blade and start cutting the hood, even though there is some bracing under the hood, the hood is aluminum and is very thin, so DO NOT press down very hard drilling or cutting, as you risk bending the thin metal, let the drill bit and saw blade do the work. And by all means, take your time, don't rush it!! Good luck.

In my opinion the ACS kit is the most straightforward option, it's what I did on my 2010 and they provide a template and everything fits together good, I am still skeptical about how much air actually flows through it because of their tray so I am looking at modifying an OEM tray but if I had to do it again I would still use ACS kit.

Man, I feel bad for the guy in that video! As Phastek and Eddymel mentioned, ACS is the way to go as they will supply the proper template to use.
I used a Dremel with a 1.5" cutting wheel for all of my hood inserts. It may take longer but it helps avoid overcutting the mark (like he did in the video). I would also recommend covering the engine with an old blanket to catch all the metal shavings from the hood. And like 1JEWLD said, let the tools do the work and don't rush. Heat buildup can be another factor to consider, so only work on one section for a short time and then go to another section. |
