Re: Mustang style side vents??

This is going to sound like an asshat thing to say, but.... there's a reason you don't see them on Camaros/Firebirds. It would look out of place the same way those ridiculous BMW Z3 fenders look. I wouldn't do it.

Re: Mustang style side vents??

I was referring to the molded vents by the rear tires. I think they could be done nice stretched across the door to the rear quarter.

You're talking about the 99-04 style vents, right?

Re: Mustang style side vents??

The mustang has the body lines for it. On a 3rd gen, they would look tacked on, no matter what.

That was my fear too, but that one above looks good. the bottom body line feeds the bottom and he made a new line on top. It's an interesting idea

They are from a 69 camaro( first gen). I'm surprised he was able to get them to fit. I didn't think our quarter panels had enough room.
