Picked up a set of these on Ebay $29 a side. If you don't see your color ask. 2 days after I bought the white ones the same seller posted a mint set of red ones.


Removed collar and cut off slats:



Added mesh to collar and painted the vent red. Dont have to worry about fit anymore.





2003 air intake has the best air flow to the engine.

Has this been proven with a aero wind tunnel test? I have my vents set up with the mesh but was thinking of picking up a 03/04 set
