Default Mercedes SL fender vents

Hows this done do you think. I presume its just cut out at a body shop and then a 2 little chrome bars over the top with some mesh behind.

Or do you think its a part you can buy from a Mercedes dealer.

Thumbs down Why???

That they can keep....Turn signal mirrors, I'm cool with that as they look good and actually serve a function. That SL Side vent thing is sim. Too much of a reach. Why not put peace sign on the hood and slap on some AMG badges??!! I love the SC and SL both for being great cars. Let's leave it at that.

That 06 sc also has body kits that I can't recognize.
Since the photos are dated on 1 16,2006, maybe some company in Japan has put it in production.

As for the fender vents , I think the ones made by Wald look better.

I'm curious as to how the Wald ones would look as they generally make cool aftermarket stuff.

Its a new japanese tuner called Behrman, I guess those Wald ones would be the same on the LS430 Wald kit.

Not for me. I bought my SC430 because of Lexus' quality and because the SC looks like no other car in its class. Frankly, I like the smooth, clean, uncluttered lines of the SC (somewhat reminiscent of the look of the early Porsche Speeders).

It looks like an entire fender/ quarter panel. It has some convexed shaping near the rear of the vent. I don't perfer it. But veriety is spice.
