Hey, check out Afterthoughts Auto, they are a sponsor on this site. I actually was looking to get a set of just the side vents in chrome as well since I don't have a ram air hood.

Maybe we can get a gp going.

Chrome would be a little too tacky in my opinion, paint them silver, thats what I did with my side grills.. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

The mesh would be cool, I would have to see it on a car first, I know I would probably like it

i.ve seen some other birds painted yellow, red,ect. for no more than what the cost might be having a set of chrome ones to put on i think would be really cool!! if i wanted a change i could always go back to the others without having to paint, besides i think the chrome would shine alot better with the zaino on it! yes--no--maybe??

THANKS for the lead to aftermarket auto, one of the site sponsors!!!!!!! thats the one i seen with the t/a chrome parts. its approx $95.00 for a set. dont remember group orders from before, but guess it was there.still think a set of the chrome is more proffessional looking then just silver paint, more class, know what i mean?? like the difference between decals-- and the real thing ---paint!!!!

Hey Terry I agree with you. My car is pewter with chrome Zr1s and I would like to keep the amount of different colors at a minimum, so that's why I like the chrome. I think it wouldn't be to extreme, and if it is, oh well, I can always put my black ones back in.
