Growing Some Gills




Or more specifically, I just received my side scoops today and am going to install them this afternoon.

I'll post the pictures after I get them on. As they stand they look great and the fit and finish are perfect. I'll be back.....

OK, I got them installed after I washed the car. It was filthy.

Here's the scoops fresh out of the wrappers. Nice wrapping job too I might add.



Here's the car before the scoops are added.







After installation....










The other side...







From further back...




So what do you think?

No problem, man. Honesty is the best policy. I appreciate the candid opinion. I'm not sure about them either. But how do you know until you try? Right?


Here's the link and I ordered them painted.

This is probably the last mod I'm doing for visual effects. Horse power will be next.

looks great, but is it just me or does the paint not match perfectly. probably just the sun and the camera.

It depends on the lighting. At some angles the right one looks a little darker and others it looks fine. I'm hoping after a year of fade it won't matter. They were close enough that it's not worth sending them back.

So far everyone that's seen it has complimented it. So I'm satisfied.

To me they seem to fatten the car up some which blends with the wider tires. The side of the car seemed to be lacking the 'thickness' that the tires brought out and it thinned out too quickly moving up to the body. So I think they enhance the tires more.
