are you referring to the vent on top of the hood? Ive been looking for one too. Ive talked to a CF manufacturer who might be able to do it, but it wont be for awhile. I already have an extra vent, just need to find someone willing to produce...

Are you guys talking about the grille where the washer nozzles are or the black abs where the wiper arms bolt through?

they are reffering to the vent that has the washers atttached to it.

I was drooling my car last night (like every other night) and realized I want one too.
lets find a way.

Most of these things have to be custom made. I would be in for the hood grille. I have mine painted now but wouldn't mind a CF one to match my grille.

I bought mine from Evosport. That link doesn't bring anything up. I ask because I also purchased a CF bezel. Here is the link for mine..

Yup. They are quality though. I'm sure you could probably get some spray paint and DIY. I have had them on for 2 1/2 yrs and not even one chip. They are still going strong..

LOL - I just found that there, too.

I guess the Internet Brands sale didn't go as well as expected.

Edit: To add insult to injury, there's no Orion Blue.
