... well, GM makes a special filler piece for that already ... actually, the SC/T hoods that come on the cars direct from GM are not removable but if you already have holes, you have an SC/T hood that was ordered through a Parts Department ... anyway, not sure how much the filler pieces are but I am sure that will all the people around removing them, you might be able to locate some ... to be honest, I had them out of mine for a while but I didn't like to look of being able to see "in" the engine so I blocked them back off again ... good luck!!

[GaSe05]

nono i have them but i want some thing like them but set back in the holes u know ok its hard to explain

[99GrandAMSE]

.. you want a deflector os something under the hood to direct the 'air' somewhere?

[GaSe05]

ok first off, for a 22 year old, you have horrible english (or typing skills). no offense, its jsut giving me a headache.

anyways, from what i gather, you want to make spacers to set the blocker back about 2 or 3 inches, giving the illusion that its open, but its not.

heres my advise, if you can work a dremel this will be easier: trace the filler onto a piece of plexiglas. then go 1/2 inch in from that and two inches out from that. cut those lines out. then make a few more to get the spacing that youre lookign for. then you can put a neon next to the plexi and itll shine through.

... probably be easier to take out the existing filler plates and mount a couple spacers between it and the hood where the screws fo ... then, insert your 'light' (of some sort) ... finally, wrap something around the plate and light combination ... personally, I'd leave them closed like they are now and simply put a few LEDs or something from the backside being they are small and provide a bunch of light, plus, it won't look all that bad when you lift the hood if you frame the wires right underneath ... good luck!!

thank u dave i get what your saying frist person to get what i am saying u meen make the black things with plexi glass put my grill inserts in front of it seal them and put my neons behind them . nice and i was trying to think of a way of puting neons under the hood too for shows they would work for that . do u think heat would be a problem

[GaSe05]

I am sorry for my spelling and stuff i was having a bad day does any one else have some idears cus i liek the plexi glass but i am thinking it look chessy what i am thinking is haveing the body guy pull out the black part and i just sylcone it back in and pull it out for shows and stuff

[99GrandAMSE]

... this isn't "English Class", so don't worry about it ;) :lol:

[RickHigginsHtbr]

no no no, ok, first, get the grilles you want. second, install them with plexi glass behind them. then, put neons/cold cathodes/whatever behind the plexi.

[GaSe05]

i have the grills i want i just need to get the neons and how to set them up

[RickHigginsHtbr]

measure out the scoop before you buy neons or whatever, dont want to get somethin too big then have to angle it in.

[GaSe05]

i was just thinking of get little fours so thers no wight to them too i have the grill inserts from custom grills that match the rest of my set

[1CoopGT03]

To be honest I wouldn't worry about water getting in. I take the blocking plates out in the spring & put them back in for winter. Once you get that black glue off there are little torx screws hiding in the ends ( 1 at each end ).

That was the first mod I did to my car when I bought it . I didn't like the plates in .

[GaSe05]

thats my plan b some one else told me to do that the thing is this is going on a girls car and ther is no way every year shes going to want to do that thats what i wana make some thin perrint
