Re: Blister or IROC

Iroc. But only if functional.
otherwise I'd go with an RS flat hood

Re: Blister or IROC

I prefer the IROC style fake vents in general, but I like the blisters when paired with the rest of the 91-92 ground effects and wing. To me, all the accent pieces should match the year they came off of.

Re: Blister or IROC

I prefer the cleaner look of the blisters, considering neither are functional.

But if you made them functional like someone on here did, that would get my vote then.

Re: Blister or IROC

The louvers look better since they are somewhat inset and flush while the louvers just look like fake stick on autozone parts. The louvers are also more of an 80s look and the 80s-early 90s are coming back. The functional louvers are great provided you either have EFI with a forward placed air filter or don't drive in the rain.
