mysql101 02-03-2008, 09:00 AM the more pics of the vents that I saw, the less I liked it. Not because of the CF, but because the vents stuck out so far from the side of the car. It doesn't flow well.
effie 02-03-2008, 09:05 AM it does look better in the flesh though:) ...... maybe i need to take some pics from a different angle..... Hmmmm.....
I don't mind em sticking out..... the KnightSports version sticks out even more.....:)
chrism 02-03-2008, 09:27 AM am i the only one who's vents are flush?
CTrx8 02-03-2008, 11:07 AM i'm not digging it but nothing personal. it just looks too dark for as much bulk it adds. it might look better on a darker 8.
Benjamz 02-03-2008, 01:05 PM i promise you that if you enlarge the holes in the vents it will look alot better, the holes will be more noticable and it should take away from the buldge effect..
but yeah... they kinda stick out just a little bit much but then i think they would work great for the wide body fenders, those have big gaps that these would look nice in
BigRed 02-03-2008, 01:39 PM they do look bulky, i agree.
Mugatu 02-03-2008, 01:40 PM ewwwwwwwww!
effie 02-03-2008, 01:46 PM huh............ oh well....... note to myself...... don't post pics here...... Hmmmmm
I didn't expect an Ewwwww thou........ LOLZ......... serves me right........Bwahahahaha
I like em nonetheless.........
BigRed 02-03-2008, 02:43 PM that is all that matters! ^
rx8speeddmon 02-03-2008, 02:49 PM Some pics from farther away would help. The up close ones just make the vents look really thick and bulky.... not something most would like on their car.
Fortunate Few 02-03-2008, 03:01 PM i dont like how they're super bulky and have little holes.
NgoRX8 02-03-2008, 03:03 PM yea these fender vents do stick out like a sore thumb. if the car was black it might not show so much
there not totally horrible. But they do stick out a bit too much. But the rest of your car looks good!
Phil's 8 02-04-2008, 10:36 AM We installed a set on MX193 car this weekend and they look great. They inset nicely I wonder if it's the tape that others are using?

I want to say thanks to Phil for installing the new air vents..... They look very good and add that little extra punch to the car.... Thanks again....
Jedi54 02-04-2008, 07:31 PM effie: take some more pics with the picture zoomed out a bit more. They probably look bulk because of how close the picture is.
Any other CF on your car? Plans for more CF?
MX: Xdeedubbx better look out, there's about to be a new CF king around here!
Ngo: LOVE the new siggy. (since everyone hijacked your last one)

+1 on that.
Effie, is that the Autoexe front?
Razz1 02-04-2008, 09:06 PM The black car looks good but the silver one looks like they stick out too far.
Maybe that's they way they were manufactured.
effie 02-04-2008, 09:51 PM Jedi54 - yea.... will take a few more pics later and post em up. And yea.... got a few more c/f parts going on.... Actually, already took delivery of the Autoexe SE-02s c/f side skirts. Odula c/f hood and Re-Amemiya c/f trunk are next up.....:lol:
nuke0907 - yup.... it's the Autoexe SE-02s c/f splitter....sharp eye:)
Razz1 - yea..... they're supposed to stick out.... was actually gunning for the KnightSports fender vents (which sticks out too).... but went for these instead....
Wasn't even considering the flush mounted vents..... Just wanted to be different :)
nuke0907 02-04-2008, 10:00 PM i think i'm gonna go with their sideskirts.
Lil_Gato 02-04-2008, 10:53 PM im diggin the vents, where did you order them from? haha i dont mind how far they stick out, haha might go good with my side skirts, haha.

Ordered FRP version of these ChargeSpeed Fender vents from Japan and proceeded to replicate em in c/f locally here (Malaysia)....... Made 5 sets, of which 3 are already sold...... Only 2 left...... :)
Salamanth 02-05-2008, 02:59 PM They kinda look like warts... big, bulbous and just kinda bulky.
I'm a huge fan of the Knight Sports vents, in fact I'm going to place an order for them as soon as I can afford them :banghead:
But these just look like CF fender tumors! :lol:
effie 02-05-2008, 09:54 PM WTF........Why are u obsessed with warts?
