Thinking about removing hood blisters/louvers...

I have a 92 Z28 and Im not really into the hood louvers or blisters, whatever you wanna call them lol.
I was thinking about removing them but was wondering if theres gonna be like an indentation on the hood or are they simply glued onto a flat hood? Also whats the best way to go about removing them? Would I do the same method as de-badging the car, such as heatgun and bugoff for the glue?

They're bolted on & you will have an ugly looking spot where the louvers once were.If you want a cleaner look, get the plain hood.

Do you have blisters?Wanna sell them?

yeah line me up next for the blisters but yes you'll have an empty spot on the hood where the blisters used to be with holes from the studs

Yeah, you're not going to like the way it looks without them. You definitely need something there. If you don't like the blisters, you can bolt a set of IROC louvers in there place.

(We have a set of blisters available on our site for anybody who's looking.)
