Question Side Vents

Does anyone know if there are different side vent covers you can put on? The Vents in front of the doors on the 98's and up.

I think he might be talking about covering the vents completely. Not an overlay

one option would be gettin a partial front 1/4 from a 93-97 firebird and grafting that section to the 98+ and get rid of the vents completely.

I thought this thread was talking about the fender vents on the outside of the car below the side mirrors?

NP man!

Kandy SS: Had this thread been about what you are talking about, the words "sail panel" would have been somewhere in here. Which is what lead me to believe that the side vent covers are the topic in question. Dragon(aka Muffinbuster ) makes A LOT of really nice things, thats why hes all over the place.
