proper rock and hard place mate. although if your looking to FEED the bodies you'll need a scoop rather than vents. Isuzu/monteray is "keeping it real" but i don't know if it makes massive differences, i know a guy who experimented by using big duct hosing from both sides of the front bumper to the bodies and measured the temps with a little lcd thermometer and said the differences were a couple of degree's iirc which isn't that much unless your track/racing etc.

I agree the Trooper/Monteray vent looks best & is the only choice I'd go for tbh from an aesthetics POV. But I doubt they feed much air in to the trumpets tbh as the intercooler they feed on a Trooper is rubber sealed under the vent.

I kinda like Renault 19 16v bonnet vents but probs would look gash on a Nova

if your gonna track it often then i'd personally pop the lights out and even space the bonnet up at the rear hinges using spacers or washers and longer bolts, then its back to standard looks in 10 mins! :thumb:
