Thanks for the reply. I will see if I can find some pictures of the combination, but it sounds promising.

i just ordered the ones with out the screens, hope it looks good

 

Any chance you or someone else could post a pic of a velocity red RX8 with extreme black vents?

 

I would like to see this as well.

 

ill have some pics really close up. with the new vents i'm getting

 

^ great, would like to see

 

ok Guys heres my install with the vents today

 

I have a set of these with the black screens that I painted SS to match my car...I will post as soon as I install....they look awesome!

 

i kinda like the no screen look, im going to install some blue leds in the back of it,

 

here we go:

 

Sweet.

 

05rex8, that is completely badass. Now I have to rethink my pseudo-decision to not get these. Which finish did you order?

 

lol i just took mine off today and adding the screens and painting them

 

thanks!
I just ordered the semi gloss black ones..here:

Can the pre-installed screens be easily removed so frame can be painted and then have screens be re-attached ?

 

yes, its very easy

 

they are held in by small screws on the back

 

Cool, ordered some. Will paint the frame WB and keep mesh black. Should look good!!! Thanks for inspiring me with what you did to your car

 

cool, post up some pics, I bet it will look awesome in WB

 

i just went outside and one is falling off, the tape is not holding to well, any luck with it holding? im going to see if i can get some more adhesive from him, hope he can do that

 

you have to make sure the surface is absolutely clean and you are installing on a warm day...if it's cold, the tape doesn't like to stick

what I did:

clean surface with paint thinner on a rag (alcohol works too)
heat up surface with heat gun or hair dryer
heat up tape briefly--gets it super sticky
then apply to surface

 

i did all that, well it rain so hard last week it was crazy, well where can i get more tape

 

auto parts store

get the 3M double sided tape for body moldings only. works the best.
it's dark gray with red plastic on top you peel off.

 

you did a good job on your car ,05rex8, i like how the body kit looks. do you see any screws on the skirts?

 

Ok here it is , i painted and clear coat and look how they came out, install tomorrow after it drys, lol yeah im a little lazy to install the aem
