Well I needed to get rid of some intense under hood heat ( keeps melting plug wires) Went for something different. I think they turned out ok. Replica 69/70 vents

ELIC1 · 04-10-2015, 07:17 AM

they are stick on vents did you cut them your self to get the hot air out. I think they really don't look good sorry man. you should just get the hex vents

bcguy · 04-10-2015, 09:40 AM

Well thanks for your honesty Maybe looks a little better in person. Just wanted to do something a little different. I cut them myself. Seemed to work out ok

seven · 04-10-2015, 09:46 AM

They are unique, making it your own. Looks great.

bcguy · 04-10-2015, 09:59 AM

Just wanted something subtle that didn't look like I was trying to be a zl1. Thanks for your input guys

ELIC1 · 04-10-2015, 10:34 AM

do they get the hot air out from under the hood like you wanted them to

Greeky89 · 04-10-2015, 10:58 AM

they look great! old school

Mr. Nasty · 04-10-2015, 11:05 AM

Hey they look good to me I like the look. I have thought about trying them myself. And if I remember rite their about a 1/3 of the price as hex vent?

Can we get a under side pic???

Pr0j3kt1 · 04-10-2015, 11:50 AM

Gives it a bold, different look. Interested in if it solves your problem.

bcguy · 04-10-2015, 11:54 AM

We are just eurathaneing them in ,once they are set up can give u a under hood pict. I didn't cut any bracing in the hood or any extra holes that weren't in the bracing already. Definitely should give me some air flow. They come flat to fit in the 70s hood so I did have to very carefully curve them in the press to mould to ours

olblue75 · 04-10-2015, 01:19 PM

looks pretty good but the chrome part needs to be toned down a tick, you could have tried a 14/15 heat extractor if you didn't want the ZL1 look.

JAX CAMARO · 04-10-2015, 01:28 PM

I like the part where they make "YOUR" car look the way you want, I've seen some of the same comments about hood pins and I still put them on my baby and I get plenty of compliments about the old school look and that's what I wanted so all I can say is its your car, your choice and I like them. Maybe you should plasti dip them and your rims black to fit in, NAA !

Libertypilot · 04-10-2015, 02:24 PM

They're awesome, I love anything throw-back. I would paint the outside area of them black and keep the metal mesh the bare metal color. That's just me though. And after you finish them, yes, please post some under hood pics. Good work man! It's a nice look.

Camaro_Custom_Painted · 04-10-2015, 02:46 PM

I'll bet they would look even better if you had them black chromed.
