Re: New Fenders?

look really cool, that second picture is definitely a members car with the vents photoshopped on, I just can't remember the members name..

edit: looks just like "kubus_stroinski"'s car...

Re: New Fenders?

Seem ricerish too me. I say that extra vents would ruin the elegance that some of our better customized cars express.

Re: New Fenders?

Yeah I was sceptical about it but I've always liked the look of the 2nd gen fender vents and was just thinking about doing that but idk. I know there is a guy on here with a black camaro and Intro wheels that did it and it looks REALLY good imo, I wonder how much of a pain in the *** it would be to put those in tho.

Re: New Fenders?

Are they maybe any wider?

Also is there a link?
I can't find them because I'm stupid.

Re: New Fenders?

id do it, custom work like that looks sick when done right, and the "elegance" crack, our cars are condemned to a life of ******* jokes, might as well have some fun with them and it'd be nice to set yourself apart from the other 3rdgens a bit. Plus you can get a little bit of a wide body look, with a lower stance theyd look good IMO. Its not like it a buddy club kit for the camaro, just a small tweak
