Ideas for my crossfire vents

OK guys and gals i need some ideas for my vents what would you use them for or what could they be used for i was thinking maybe some night rider lights but I'm not a big fan of those.
It would be a cool place for a couple nitrous nozzles but i don't have nitrous so give me your ideas everyone thanks.

they are 12volt the computer grounds a relay when it gets a full throttle signal.
i have been toying with the idea of controling other devices with the relay on my wife's 83. she wants l.e.d.s inside the loovers, i like the idea of a full throttle exhaust cut-out. you should be able to test by simply giving the solinoid power and ground.

I have concern as to weather the hood will fit, the loover assembly takes up a loot of room. you might have to cut the rubber boot or more in order to make it fit.
There was a recall on the 83, the fiberglass would delaminate, you should make sure that your hood is not going to fly apart on the freeway.

the full throttle exhaust cutout would be cool. now my recomendation is do not buy the summit brand version. i have that one and first id have to take it off every couple of months to tighten all the bolts up again and again. then the bolts going to the motor literally broke so i had to thread them for bigger bolts. i really think the raceready one is probably better and it has a lifetime warranty. if you dont care about the warranty a tgo member from nor cal is selling one for 100 bucks norcalz28.

my cutout stopped working again the day of the cruise lol. its off and i have to take it apart and see if i can fix the motor, if not i have to buy another one but my exhaust is tucked so high i wont be able to fit the race ready one so yeah that sucks. haha. Tim aka 86firebirdta has a summit one on his car also and he is not a fan.
