See auction description:

The photo is too tiny to get a sense of the look. What do you think?

Not for my taste. Cleaner is better. Too much chrome is just that....too much chrome! My .02

Actually its not that noticeable. Thought about it once cos my white vents got pretty dirty easily and ***** stuck to it like glue! Thought the chrome would be easier to clean but it wasn't worth the money..... I thought.

In thinking about it, in white or silver it might look alright. I've got an obsidian black E and on it, I think they would stand out a little too much. I wonder if any member here has pictures of them installed?

I agree with Eurosport, IMO you don't need to add anymore chrome anywhere than what already comes from the factory.

Those are small and simple, look like they belong. Now chrome vent strips or whatever they are, not my taste. No offense to anyone of course but they look like they should be on a lowrider or something...

Agreed, and would hardly make any diff on yours or mine, as MBZ12 said - again, not worth the money.

Hey bud, was that you in the grey T and dark cap in those pics of the GTG?

Hey, did you see the thread on camber rods on the other forum? I think you'll have a field day on that!

Although I don't think its a good idea RBrenton88, this might be a better pic to help you decide. Also, BEWARE, as far as I know, the proper ones are an entire assembly made of solid metal (the pic on the ad and this came from the Schatz site which is the whole assembly) not stuck on as the ad claims - the adhesive ones will just make the airgrill much bulkier and probably won't sit flush in the hole.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha............and comes with adhesives for easy attachment (and mounting!) And remember, its not the size that matters, its the color - as VodkaG and I have proven

So was that u in the Grey T and cap?

Probably not useful cos its an Euro based company but I understand their products are available in the US (Stemags had interiors by this company - you might want to ask him where he got his stuff). Here's the link:
