Side Vents

Hi,

Wonder has anyone installed side vents like the one shown below on their W203? Looks quite cool on the SLK but not sure if it will look out of place on a sedan.

i think thats a design/look that really only fits a coupe's looks....would be very hard for a sedan to pull that off I think...BUT ps it and lets see how it would look though, I could be wrong

Hi,

The item can be purchased from the taiwanese yahoo auction site though they claim thatthe item is from germany. The price is approx. US$250. But they do not say how to install the vent.

Ah! Taylor vents. I actually like these. I think I'd go the extra mile and actually have the real vent installed, but they don't look bad this way either.

Frankly, on a sedan this would look very stupid.

TRUE!!!!! UGLY!!!!! That's just my opinion.

But then again, everyone has their own taste. Just don't be badging your car into a SL230 or AMG or whatever.

they thing is the vents look fake, because they are. it will just look cheap because of that. go all out, and have it installed in the fender professionally, with real vents, that would be hot!

Exactly. It wouldn't be much cutting and bending, either.
