			That's...unbelievably tacky   
Anyone that puts these on their car should be banned from ever owning a Porsche.

			It's a toss up as to which is more ridiculous, these hideous intake magnets or the dual exhaust tip one that I came across awhile back.

Now only if they would include a decal that could be applied over the rims to "upgrade" the wheels.  Improve the look of your ride a step further without spending a lot of $$$:dance:  Anyone sense a money-making opportunity?

			Order up 2 sets for ME JD ! In case I scratch one of them !     
Seriously though....what is wrong with our sidevents just as they are ?
 
I think they look fantastic. I'm guessing this product is not gonna do all that well 
and will quietly disappear. :ah:
