Functional CAMARO HOOD LOUVERS!!!

Hey All-

I'm doing a Supercharged LS3 build on an 88 Vert through Hawks and had to come up with a solution to avoid heat soak. I decided to create these and when I saw how freakin' awesome they were, wanted to offer them to everyone! Functional Aluminum Hood Louvers made specifically for 3rd Gen's - FINALLY!!. Please check out www.camarolouvers.com for lots of pics and info.

Re: Functional CAMARO HOOD LOUVERS!!!

Hi Everyone,
As promised - I now have many installed pictures of our Functional IROC Hood Louvers up on our website www.camarolouvers.com .
Check out the home page as well as the Gallery + Louvers to see what the Textured Aggressive Set looks like installed on the hood of my 1988 Convertible. We used silver screws (on a few pics) to mount them on purpose so you can easily see the mounting points. The end result (after my hood is painted) will include black allen bolts.
You can see that they're not very noticeable - even in silver. One pic shows no screws on the left one so you can get an idea of what they would look like if you rivet them on instead. The Low Profile Smooth Set pics should be up tomorrow.

The hood was cut with a ziz wheel/cut-off wheel. I would recommend using some touch-up paint to seal the cut edge.

Low Profile Smooth








Underhood - Left side appears closed due to the camera angle.

Re: Functional CAMARO HOOD LOUVERS!!!

They look great! Do you make a more universal style? Im looking for some for my 4" cowl fiberglass glasstek hood.

Of course they should be cheaper… lol.

Unfortunately we only make these louvers. No plans to expand past 3rd gen's


Sorry
