Anyone try or think about Z34 vents in the GTP Hood.. I was thinking about it.. if the holes in the GTP hood are smaller or bigger than the Z34 vents.. If smaller that would be awesome cuz then i would be able to put them vents in..

I think the GTP hood vents are longer and skinnier then the Z34 ones. The ones in my Z are around 8 inches wide, and about 14 inches long. From what I remember, the GTP ones look like they are around 5-6 inches wide, and about 18 inches long. The shape of the hole is different as well. Would probably be a lot easier and just swap hoods.-60v6's 2nd Jon M.

If he just swaped hoods the front edge wouldnt line up with the GP bumper.
GTP vents arent that long, i think you are refering to TGP vents.
Either way, if the GTP vents are larger than the Z34 vents in any way just get a base GP hood and start from there. Cut the holes for the Z34 vents and pop them in.Mr_Efficiency

I think I am thinking of a TGP. I didn't realize there was a difference between the TGP and GTP hoods. Ya learn something every day

Earlier GTP's also got the longer vents. If memory serves me correct, the GTP didn't start getting the SHORTER vents until 1994-1996. I know I have seen a 1991 GTP, and a 1992 GTP that had the same vents that the TGP had.Taylor

89-90 TGP's and 91-93 GTP's share the SAME vents
94-96 GTP's have shorter vents of a different design.

Yea back in the day when my buddy was looking for drip trays it took him over a year to locate a good set for his 94+ style hood. The longer vents just look awful. I would either go 94+ or Z34. The Z34's probably wouldn't look right on a GP since the GP has a more rounded look. The Z34 IMO has a more aggressive sharp edge look.Lifting my front wheels, one jack at a time.Comment
