Question on hood blister install.

Hi,i just picked up a set of Hood Blisters off of a 91 Z28, do they bolt right in place of the Louvers on my 86 Z28 hood?

Also from the factory was there some type of Mesh or was it a Carbon Fiber sticker where the opening should be on the back? Thanks alot

I hear of people talking about a metal or plastic grill type thing that goes in there and others say it is a sticker, I ordered new stickers off e bay for 10 bucks but I am unsure if that is correct or not.

Those are close, but not exact

The original ones are black and have more of a circle type pattern.

When I had blisters repainted, I just left them off and I think it actually looks better.
