Apparently I chose wrong on eBay. I went to put them on this weekend and the top of the fake vents separated and then it quickly crumbled. Thankfully, no damages, scratches as a result of this junk, but I’m hoping the seller refunds my money (sent him pics of the problem).

These look pretty nice - very subtle in the dark color.

Do they have double sided tape?

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.

Do you have any pictures from a front angle?

Some of the advertisements on eBay show better angles. It could be better. I'm sure another China seller will make something more realistic

Anyone else have any pictures?

I've never seen so much hemming and hawing about a $20 mod decision. Do what I did. Buy it and see if you like it. I mean if you can't afford $20 you probably should be spending money on stuff other than car mods.:)

All I asked for was a pictures from the front facing back (your pictures were back facing front). I like to see what I am buying if possible. BTW I already ordered them. People ask a thousand questions about side markers too.

Sorry to bother you.

The reason I didn't take more pics from different angles for you was that I wound up taking them off.

Thanks - no problem. Hopefully they are easy to remove if I feel the same way.
