The interior doesn't match the outside though. The paint is a very hard color to match. It involves mixing pearl, pink, green, blue and white. And I couldnt find vinyl dye or any krylon fusion in the correct colors needed. The paint and dye do match the seat covers and steering wheel cover I also got for my birthday in so I think it works alright in my opinion...

Btw whiterider, I really like what you did with your tails. I was considering that idea for my tails, but the paint is really tough to do to get it right. (At least for me anyways.)

duplicolor makes just about every factory color in spray and touch up paint. check auto parts stores or even walmart. if not try the duplicolor website.

Yep those vents will slow you down about .001 on the drag strip since they weigh not even a pound. If you like them keep it, most people generally choose not to go to autozone to mod there car but if it makes you happy go for it. :)

I know, I was thinking that, but he was making a point that they're not crappy plastic and real carbon fiber. Just the fact that something carbon fiber that isn't functional or replacing a part on the car seemed contradictory to me. But yea, if you like em, keep em and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Well I guess they were like $50 for the 6 of them. They came from somewhere online. That's what my buddy who gave them to me said. Haha. But I have no engine mods so I'm not going to be puttin it to test anytime soon. I'll try to get a picture of them up tomorrow because they are a lot better quality than walmart. I just like them because I'm a carbon fiber fan and I'm too poor to afford a hood or anything major that's real carbon fiber other than those accents. Lol

duplicolor doesn't have this color in rattle can, they only have it in the little touch-up bottles, if he wants spray paint so he can match the factory color he has to order it from the dealer like i had to for my old alero. i bought 2 cans but never got to do what i wanted to with it because i totaled the car.

:O there like $12 at autozone damn.

Ok thanks dragon for clearing that up! I didn't really know how to describe it. Haha. But no they're the real ones. The ones at walmart and autozonre are the carbon fiber LOOK ones. Mine are real. And look a lot higher quality than the cheapo ones.
