Hood louvers

I hate these things I want to change them out for some later model blisters but would thay look ok on an 88 iroc.I know thay don't belong on an 88 but thay would be alot easer to keep clean.

Should i keep the louvers or change them to blisters?

seems like a simple answer. If you hate the louvers and like the blisters why wouldnt you change to them? Personally i love the way the louvers look but do whatever floats your boat.

I like them, but they are rough to wash and dry. I'd keep them.

They'd probably look the same as they would on a '91 or '92 go with them if you like them

Exactly. Its your car, not ours. If you hate them, get rid of them.

Personally, I like both. If I came across a cheap set of blisters, I would by them but I'm not gonna go out of my way for them.

Except mine! I think the blisters are, uh.... less than attractive! I may be in the minority, but that's my opinion.

Bottom line is, go for it! If you don't like it, you can always change back!

I like the louvers. It gives a nice contrast not being body color and smooth.
