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.

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.

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

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.

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)

The black car looks good but the silver one looks like they stick out too far.

Maybe that's they way they were manufactured.

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.....

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

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......

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

But these just look like CF fender tumors!
