I’m looking at projects for 2021 and I’m wondering if there is any replacements or projects to make the side vents functional or at least look better...

Forum member Squirrel Crusher made his operational/ maybe 10 years back? He did a very nice job of it.

 

ditto, squirell crusher did a fantastic job making them functional on his srt6

 

I have always wondered what the car would look like if that area was filled in completely and blended with the rest of the fender.

 

Last year Farmers Insurance came out with the "Parking Splat" commercial with the red Crossfire convertible. I found I really liked how they painted the fender vent trim body color. I'm guessing they used an insurance totaled Crossfire and had just painted the whole car fresh for the commercial, but it's a nice look. I bought a set of used vent trim to paint like that to try, but that has been down on the my project priority list.

 

Probably earl Schieb, they used to paint everything the same color. LOL

 

I have often thought one of them would make a good CAI opening. But finding a clear path to the throttle body eluded me.

Of course if you did that to one side one would most likely make the other side appear functional as well.

 

Thats where the exhaust should be. See Mercedes SL McLaren.

I agree, the Mclaren has the exhaust in the right place. Below the door skins, in the rocker panels, so it doesn't put black droplets all over the side of the car.

The side vents are higher.

 

Is Squirrel Crusher still active? I might have some questions for him. His mod is really nice!

Yes, the McClaran is beautiful, I wish that ours looked more like that with the side venting.

 

Found this on a rim site. See "they" blacked out the entire car.

That looks great on a black one, I’m not so sure about the red. 🤷‍♂️

 

Also lowered the car, increased the size of the tires/rims, (AND) tucked them into the fender well)… It'll need tires more quickly on the car due to the high negative camber tread contact.

Corrected the 'tilt' comment and see it is actually built! Not so much of a trip cruising car, more like a show car. Thanks old-school!

I actually contacted audio city about these rims $$$$$$$$. Then my daughter wanted to advance her career and go back to college. She is doing very well and my black srt ...... still has the factory set up.

 

If they didn’t screw with the tire size & camber then I’d love it!

 

This is a toy ; https://audiocityusa.com/shop/blog/1...ossfire-srt-6/
It can not be driving on the roadway. It would need a special built trailer or some kid of jerry rigged setup just to get it loaded/off-loaded on a trailer. EYE CANDY ONLY!

 

I have a friend in NC that owns a corvette that is slung as low as this 'toy'. Hot as a pistol, doesn't need a trailer to drive it (has to be careful at road/parking lot/driveway transitions), it isn't a 'toy' and he loves it when he kicks in the cutouts and puts most of the 750+ HP to the rear wheels!

When I spoke to Audio City they indicated it was lowered. I would not want to do that but I love the rims. The next stimulus will get me 12% of the way (and cost my children and grand children) That I think will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
