no. I honestly, don't even like the functional ones. Someone posted a picture of one molded into the side of the car... that was kind of cool.

They have no point at all if they are non-functional. But I don't like way they look to begin with. Much better in body color, I would think.

Default Fake ones do suck...


however if they function like mine then that is fine. I wanted to paint them but was advised not too because the plastic doen't hold paint well. There are other kits that look better but cost more. I may upgrade to one of those soon.

Yeah, I don't need the sock, nor do I need the non-functional version of those wind scoops.

Don't care for the looks of the real ones much, but think they are a nice addition since they are functional. Can't imagine buying these when you could spend your money on some perfectly good fuzzy dice to hang from the mirror.
