I don't recognize it, but please tell me you're taking those stick-on vents off the fenders.

Pictures of that skull airbrushing have been posted on either this forum or CF before. Search for them and you might find some info.

They're not sticker vents.They are functional as someone cut the fender out behind.They are off a newer CTS v.

Holes don't always mean functional lol. Anything actually routing heat out of them? Doesn't seem like it from the engine bay pics. Either way, best of luck with the car. I hope you enjoy it

It's my old car! I'm happy to see that it was repaired. I called you, so if you have any questions just call me back tomorrow, but the car has more then just a cam and headers. Made 411 RWHP Motor and 580 on a 175 shot. Looks like someone removed the Nitrous and my HRE wheels. I installed the vents so the nitrous purge would spray out red with bright LED lights. Everyone shoots in out near the wipers, tried to be different. To much to list, but is the engine and transmission creative steel mounts still in it?

It's fine I took good care of it. I did the 175 shot a couple times, but drove around on the street mostly on the 100 shot. It's as easy as swapping 2 jets.

Ive had a few nitrous cars it doesnt bother me. For some reason it freaks out 95% of people though lol. 175 on a stock bottom end is a lot though lol. Im shocked the stock fuel system could handle it honestly.

True it does freak a lot of people out. I hope the car still has the Racetronix fuel pump and harness in it? The guy I sold it to sadly wreaked the car only two days after he bought it.. Still don't know why a lot of that stuff was removed, maybe to swap on a different V? I will find my Dyno Video, but it did good on the 175shot, no knock, 11.2 on the wideband the whole pull and since I just drove every other weekend it alway had a full tank of GT100.

Haha, as long as they're functional... I would definitely paint them though--especially without the chrome grill to bring them all together.
