Carbon side vent anyone?

This is the carbon side vent.
I thought its pretty cool. I was wondering if anybody bought this before or have it.

Non-functional stick on part... I wouldn't put them on unless you actually cut some vent holes to be honest. Also, looks like the display shows it attached to a non-standard 204 bumper so you'd wonder about the lines and curvature matching.

That's true.

I think it's a good find; however, it seems as if one did not have a black (or dark-colored car), then anyone looking from the rear (into it) would see the paint of the car. (Imagine that) Unless a hole was cut, or some matte black paint/vinyl was put behind it, it would look cheap and implausible. In anyway, I think its great to see new parts for the 204's.

Also, to buy it costs $220, plus $30 (about $250) with shipping.

If it was about $100.00 less I would pick up a set.

telling by the pictures this will only fit the luxury bumper, right?

other than being fake, its a great idea. though using my imagination that vent doesnt seem like it'll look good in that small space between the lower grille and the wheels, especially on a lux..

+1 on it being fitted on the non-AMG bumper... probably should watch out for fit on the NA sport models.

You can't be serious Ron! It will probably fly off your car when you are on the Freeway. But if you are, you can make your best offer to the seller

For $200 + Shipping, that NUTS
