Louvers Vs. Blisters

I currently have an 86z with a set of remarkable louvers and recently figured out that blisters will also work. So the question is this, which would you rather have on your car and which do you think looks better on our hoods, louvers or blisters?

They look the best the way they came. Louvers look better on 85-90 Irocs/Z28's. Blisters look better on 91/92 Z's.

hard to say, the best way if you are able to is try a set of blisters on the car and see if you like the way it looks. I personally myself prefer the 82-84 Z28 style hood. in fiberglass of course

I say depends on look you are going for, if its modern look i say go with blisters, but if you like the older look then louvers. To me the louvers are alot cleaner looking, but kind of have that added on look instead of that built in look the louvers have.

can the blisters be made functional? I've always liked the blisters look, but then that could just be the fact that i like pretty much everything about the 91-92 car's exterrior.

Louvers look more aggresive to me. But I also like the blisters...it's a toughy
