Custom vented hood

Could someone photoshop the vents on the opposite sides please? With the angled curves on the outside. I would like to see how they would look.

I just did a quickie and flipped the vents horizonally in PS

Just so you get an idea

Nice - can you do PS with the 280ZX vents? Just curious - might be worth digging through the junk yard for....

Very nice looking. Looks great either way, but I think vents flipped out flows better with the shape of the headlights and the front grill.

Beautiful work nevertheless.

There are actually several different 280zx vents, those he pictured are the early ones, later models (81-83?) had a different style. And IIRC the turbos had different vents as well..

Heres a pic of the later version:

The 280z also had vents but only in the 77-78 years (the last two production years).

But looks good!

I never bothered with the 82-83/turbo vent pics as they are asymetrical. The '81 turbo had asymetrical vents but the '81 NA had vents like pictured above.

Only the '78 280Z had vents AFAIK the '77 didn't have vents - oh and good luck finding those....
