Reminds me of a late 70's camaro vent. Buy a set and split them and glas them back together narrower. dont think its for me but hey, if you can dream it can be done.

Yeah but see, it's not the same, they don't look OEM; thats clearly a Beemer vent (and it's too low).
The owner may like it, but it doesn't suit the car.



Same thing, (similar style, but) the Camaro vent is too angular; it won't look OEM.
I designed it in a way that matches the contours of the SC; I wanted something that looks like it belongs, rather than something that (while it may look nice) is clearly aftermarket, or custom. In other words, see the difference between the Aston Martin DB-9, and the Aston Martin DB-S.
It's the same car (aesthetically), but with some cosmetic upgrades. What I'm trying to produce is exactly that, a sort of SC-R ... Same car, more sport.
It has to look original though; not obviously a Tuner Mod.

Just a bad idea all together, its like putting on a non functional hoodscoop. Its pointless.
Id only mess with a fender if im running a agressive kit and hood.

I guess I dont see it, I think they look out of place on the SC. Not for me.

I like the idea. Wouldn't work on my car, but it looks really nice on lighter colored cars where contrast can be created.

I must say i prefer those aftermarket looking fenders than something like that.
Keep it period if you're trying to go with something OEM like. Idk, the car was made in the 90s, the vent has to look 90s.
