S51 (2009) fender vents on a S50 (2003) any thoughts?

[fx4five]

Hey there collecting thoughts on putting S51 fender vents on a S50, I have a set and they line up and will set flush almost identical to the S51, the only difference is the distance between the vent and the door edge side of the fender. They look bigger and more aggressive on the S50. What do you all think I haven't seen it done yet.

I'm sure it can be done, and probably made to be functional as well.

I usually lean towards deleting stuff off my cars though, not adding more trim.

I have gone through a lot of hassle to delete stuff like the front unicorn antenna, rear wiper, badges, etc. and now I am working on deleting the lower chrome mouldings on the doors.

It depends on what you're going for, I myself am just trying to clean up the lines of the car, and in all honesty it makes the car easier to clean, and wash as well. haha.

This has been done, I remember seeing pics of those vents on a 1st Gen here. Here is one of them.

Here is another successful infusion of the 2nd Gen side vent into a 1st Gen.

I agree I don't do chrome at all..

It's been done, simple at cutting the fender and fitting the vents into it. There are a few on here that should come up with a search...

Does anyone know where I can buy those fender vents? Would I have to go to the dealer only for that? Thank you!

Awesome thank you! I just checked the website and man those things are really expensive: $151.20 for right vent and $145.15 for left! Ok I might just look out for used ones somewhere. Thanks again wlvrn97!
