I'd be willing to pay about $400-500 for a nice functional set of brake cooling vent systems

we could get this and paint/powerdoat it in black and it might even look good in chrome or stainless on some of the darker cars, personally i have an IP so i would be turning it black. just my attempt at a somewhat simple fix to a common pet peeve.
any thoughts?

Main man...those look horrible! I'd rather keep the fake stock vents. But I would rather try to fabricate adding fog lights to the stock vents.

Are you planning to put a similar mesh like the middle opening while you wait? I've been looking for someone who's done this with a non-sport sedan and its 2 large openings.

Check out the fog lights on the 2010 G37S sedan. I might use these because they basiclly are oem.

I'm going to keep this thread alive for the rest of it's life until we find some solution to address the fake vents

It's been 2.5 years and I thought that this would be an obvious aftermarket fix-up...but nope...
