LRB Speed vents etc

Anybody have photos of theirs installed painted or not ?

Looking at buying the complete set as my dash center vent broke while repairing something else

I was thinking of painting them to match the blue but i would imagine it would be hard to match the colors.

Also did you bolt yours down ? or just plop them in as is ?

Do you recommend them ? wish they did a reverse hood scoop or even a factory T2 one

I'd also be interested to see them installed and painted. I've been eyeing them myself, but with the exhange rate at $.76 CAD to $1.00 USD, I'm probably going to wait.

I have them installed on my GXL, unfortunately I cannot offer photos as I am currently deployed, but I can tell you that they are definitely worth the buy they wont crack OR BREAK ever (at least not inside the car) and they were easy to paint as long a you use a good primer. Im lucky for shipping cause I just drove 3 hours to his place to get them and he sells them with a kit to screw them in place. I have a black interior so painting was not that bad either. HOWEVER, the metal he uses bends easily enough if you handle it roughly or drop them at a weird angle but all you have to do is just bend it back. He just made some reverse hood vents as well for venting hot engine air and did some testing on them also. They bolt right in and use the metal "cutout ready" sections you can see under your hood so its hard to mess up the cutting.
