does anyone have gm part numbers and instructions. Please don't tell me to just get the saw out. I've never done body work before so this should be a fun experience lol
Thanks in advance!

I believe that is a GNX louvre. I'm not sure where you can get them though. Try your local Buick or GM dealership. There may be someone who makes them aftermarket, perhaps a little cheaper than OEM. If it is a boat vent....very creative. HTH

Well anyone that has seen Darons truck will certainly agree that his fender vents are the most original!

Yes those are the GNX louvers on Chris Pearson's white Ty above and he was the first one to install them. I installed them on my black Ty shortly after I seen his and liked the idea. I have a staight shot on the pass. side for cool outside air into the KB cool air kit and the drivers side you can feel the heat escape along with the Cowl hood I have. To see more photos of the GNX louvers installed check under our Customer Rides section of our site listed below and look for my black Ty.

Later,

I have a GNX louver on my Sy, only on the pass. side currently. My truck came with it and some friends say I need to put on on the drivers side also to even it out so I am looking for one also. Mine is installed just like the GNX so it directs hot air out of the engine compartment. You can see some pics of it on my webshots site below, I personally like the look of mine better than when they are put on backwards but thats just me, good luck in your search.

I rather see Stingray "gilles" outta a Vette mag on an S-10 fender. It would be more fitting. Does NE1 know where to find pics of the truxarossa "Farrari" louvers installdd on a Blazer? I saw a yellow 1 once on the web but can't find it now.

Yeah Daron's truck is an excellent example of low buck mods.
I'm not saying he's cheap but he knows how to make his money work hardest for his truck.

Not only that he did his mod out of necessity to remove the cancer (rust) rather than replace entire fender panels. I must say I stood next to his truck for a few minutes at the nats before I even noticed.

If you haven't seen it he cut away large rectangles of the steel fender and put a black mesh steel screen in their place.

Bet it was WAAAAAAY cheaper than first fixing all the rust then buying GNX louvres.
Myself I am shopping for louvers as well and hopefully I don't find much rust when the cladding comes off. My truck has been from NY to NJ to OH to MT to IL then to ME in STL MO. heh heh heh
