Hood Louvers and blisters
Does anyone know if the 85-92 louvers and blisters fit the 84 z28 hood?
Thanks

1985 TO 1990 ARE THE LOUVERED TYPE AND ARE THE SAME. 1991 & 1992 ARE KNOWN AS BLISTERS AND ARE FLAT.

I have a question on the same matter, will the 91-92 Blisters work on the 85-90 hood?

Thanks for the info guys.
I don't really want the expense of a blister hood, I do like the 84 hood but not the vent part, has anyone done a mod to that area or used different vent grilles.

you could get a RS hood and hawks sells blisters that you just drill the holes for and it looks very similar. Do a search for Gunnyhighway's car, he has em.

but take notice that the "fake" blisters on Hawks are NOT the same exact size as true Z28 blisters and cannot be used on a 85-92 Z28/IROC hood
