Daphur280 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'll try to find a pic of one, but I cant seem to find a vendor/manufacturer/dealer who sells them. Not the carbon fiber ones, preferably fiberglass. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky280zx Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Dont know of any fiberglass but i am pretty sure MSA can still get their oldschool metal louvered hoods but they arent cheap (be forewarned). -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 There is a tool that cuts and shapes vents like in that yellow one, maybe ask custom rod type body shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBZ Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 We're talking steel right, not fiberglass? For sure Steel, only with a steel hood could you put louvers in like that after its made. For fiberglass you would have to mold them in while laying the mat/resin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin240Z Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Do they make premade louvers to mold onto hoods? For steel, there is a very large machine, which has a punch in that shape, they just move the metal down the line and punch a hole. So I wouldnt be surprised if you could find something that shape, or you could just make a mold of a louvered hood I suppose.
