I bought an extra set of stock vents and had them prof. painted and they look great.

Looking at what the after market has, I would say just buy stock ones and get them how you want them.

Based upon this thread, sounds like EVO-R is not a good option. Too bad, I really like the look of them

For me personally, I find the OEM one's flat and boring, it's not really about color so much.

The ACCOLADE fenders are sweet, one side fits perfect, the other side requires a little fitting adjustment to close a slight gap, but again very few aftermarket body pieces and fenders fit 100% anyways..

Personally i'm fan of the ACCOLADE fenders and know of a number of people locally with their fenders... and its worth the investment..

I say if you like it go for it.

that Accolade fenders LOOK great, just need some work from a trained body shop to get them to fit just right.

i cant believe all these places that sell side vents for 300 bucks. just seems so high. I would love a set but not for 300 bucks. Autobahn's do look good though.
