Re: Will Hood Blisters Work?

They look fine but i prefer my car looks like the year it is supposed to be. I finally found a set of correct louvers for my car. I went with nothing until i found them, i have a few sets of blisters to list on ebay but i wouldn't have them on my car.

I can understand where you're coming from. I respect that, to each man his own.

Re: Will Hood Blisters Work?

Sorry, that came out wrong all over. What i was saying is yes they will work but i personally prefer the louvers even if they do break. I tried to rock the blisters but with a stock hood they just didn't feel right to me. On an aftermarket hood i think they'd be awesome, definitely different.

since this is not a factory hood, im gonna say that its to far gone to be worried about being year specific and im 99% sure that the louvers and blisters use the exact same mounting points and hood

Re: Will Hood Blisters Work?

Well everyone I've got them in the mail and it looks like I may have to do some drilling. For some reason My mounting points arent the same, but that should be no problem.

Re: Will Hood Blisters Work?

I think the ones from Hawk's aren't meant as factory replacements nto the stock recxessed area, but rather mounte on a flat hood, like the RS hood, or any other flat car hood.

If I'm right, that would explain why the studs don't line up with you stock louvers stud holes.
