On my 92 Z-28 it has the two little cowl deals on the hood and it's been pointed out to me numerous times how horrible the plugs look in them with the flaking paint and cheap look to them. I was wondering if it wouldn't be better for looks and function if a screen of sorts was put it. I am a beginner so correct me if I'm wrong, but if there were screens, it seems it would let the engine run cooler, and look better, nearly too good to be true. So, let me know if its a good idea or if you're completly in awe as to who would think of such a rediculous idea, with ablsolutly no good in it. Thanks a lot! Any advice helps!!

I know this probly isnt the right board for this question but after a week no one in the "appearance"board would respond, so please help!! THANKS!!:hail:

 

Its been done by people here on the board...anything you can do to help your engine breathe is a good thing..

 

Just remember that debris, rain, and snow will et in there....

 

I did the same on my firebird... and I haven't noticed any problems w/ rain getting in there and screwing things up.....yet

I just used some Gutter Guard screen that you can buy at any Home Depot. It's already treated for outdoors so you don't have to worry about it rusting, but you may want to put a few layers since the material is rather thin. I screwed up on cutting the edges as you can see in the pics - - getting the curve was a pain in the ***, but I think it still looks good
