If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

My car already has some fake vents in the rear and front (although on the sedan they are "smallish"). I decided to add some knock-off CTR style black fender vents to my car and I think they look surprisingly good. I'm not 100% sold on the look, but here's a couple pics to give you an idea of how it looks. On my dark Cosmic Blue they're subtle which is what I was going for. They would be more noticeable on a light color car. For $20 shipped I thought it was a good deal.

I think the fake vents like this on the back of the 2018 camry are the ugliest things on the universe. On the side it's a little more acceptable

I actually think it looks good. Fake vents sometimes come standard on cars.

Ohhhh saw these on eBay in gloss and flat black for $20. Anyone else install them? I'm curious of side views or how it would look on a hatchback. The TypeR has a matte black vent but the gloss black may match a hatchback accents better.. hmmmmmm

I got the matte black vents and like it. Fairly subtle. The gloss would be a bit more bold but might go better with all the gloss black on the hatch.

As far as how it would look on the hatch...
If you like the TypeR look, you'll like it on your car.:thumbsup:
