    can't you buy the vents pre made and you just have to cut up your car and put them in?

    I think it would look pretty good if it was done correctly..... get the seams where the insert and the body meet filled with bondo and repainted your body color so it looks like it came with it....

    i was one of the people asking in that thread but no one answered. this looks like the best bet. is just to take your fender of and mold in the vents. i will eventualy do it when i have time and money. i think they look sweet.

    EDIT- i mean mold in the vent that you buy.

    I think on that blue 4dr, what he did was cut slits into his fender and bent the flaps in.

    zx7: To answer your question, I've got the vents right now and i'm just short the money to actually get em installed (another $100). But as soon as I get it I'll post some pics (that may be awhile however seeing as how i'm out of a job).

    I have seen a Civic with the BMW M3 or M5 vents on the side and it looked good but i think they might look funny on an accord because it is not a curved or round as a civic.
