I was just poking fun at the ricers and others that put the fake shiny stuff on. I'll bet after looking at that photo, it'll be the first thing ya think when ya see the portholes on another ricer.
Damn, those lampreys are fugly!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what other options are out there for hood replacements and side vents.

Question, what did it set you back to transform yours into a 2018 appearance package.
Thanks man, the vents are missing the emblem that goes in the center so it’s a little off right now.

It set me back around 6k. But that’s because the hood and vents were almost 3k

Yea I didn’t want any vent you could buy online or autozone. That’s why I went with a $300 Shelby vent lol

I'm assuming the vent is functional based on this chain of messages then right? Do you have any pics that show how the hot air escapes through the engine bay to the vents?

I actually doubt the Shelby vent is functional considering Tuscany makes them not Shelby.

But I can see how some hot air will escape through the vent since the engine bay is close
