Nope, look 'homemade' and the horizontal and vertical vanes just look wrong.. I think the following look better..

Yea, I'm definitely leaning towards the ones you show. I'm thinking about doing a CF wrap on them though depending on how they look unpainted.

Just goes to show that the markup from the manufacturer is a lot.

Reviews from the eBay sale are all positive. Going to order them now. Will post back up when I receive them and install them.

How are these, what are your thoughts, I clicked your link and those seem to be going for $178.88 which seems like a pretty good deal.

Nice, but I like the black on red contrast.

They look like you are pretending to have a mid engine car. And visibility through them would be about as good as if you actually had a mid engine car.

Yea, that did occur to me. I've steered away from them now but they are all over eBay.

Got a kick out of that video and this guy's breathing techniques to keep him calm, lol. Seems to show its poor quality from the start with the work needing to be done. Looks OK at best, but not a fan IMO. Looks like a cool Lambo louver, but just doesn't match up to this car. At least not in its naked form.

That was helpful, it's definitely a hard no on these now. They look like crap in the video on the car.

Also, this guy needs to figure out another way to make money. He' not nearly as entertaining as he thinks he is.
