What year Camaros had functional hood louvres?

I want a louvred hood for my car, but all the one's that I've looked had fake louvres. Did they make any with real louvres?

The only Camaros with working hood louvers will be the 82 and 83 Cross Fire Injected Z28's. They also had the fiberglass hood.

The 82 & 83 hoods would fit a 91, wouldn't it?

Also the 84 HO TA and I presume the Z28 of the same year.

I do not believe that the 84 z28 models had functional hood flaps. That year it was for show only. Just 82 & 83.

82's and 83's didn't have louvers, more like "ram air" here's an old pic of my '88 with a '83 CFI SMC hood. <img src= "http://www.nconnect.net/~briones/camfront.jpg">
