After quite a long wait, my APsis side vents got here..
today.....FedEx....had just finished washing the wardens Yukon... nice day..so i pulled the Yuk back in the garage, backed the vette out..and put em on.
Install took about an hour..... why? LOL.,.. i had to use Zaino Fusion and rub down the sections where the vents were going to be installed, then use a fine micro fiber towel to finish up getting all the multiple coats of Zaino off so the 3m tape would make good contact with the body ...
Anyway, workmanship was nearly flawless..there was one spot on the right vent that i had to touch up with my gm touch up paint..very small though... the powder coating job is really sweet! And the install was a snap, but thanks to Cylon on this forum for his added tip on using a curved "hook" to insert through the mesh and pull the very flexable side of the body up against the 3m tape on the vent to make a gap free flawless install....
bottom line: I love em......... took it to a cruise in here local tonight briefly.. another C6 was there, guy wanted to know "where the hell did you get those?????" I told em...
glad i got black frames and black mesh.... just adds a perfect finishing touch to the car in my opinion....
so, anywho.. here are some graphic pics for those that might want to see em and for those that want to hate em...wanted to give yall all angels in case you might be thinking about them... we had off an on overcast so some pics are dark..sorry.
and APsis... feel free to steal any of them you want...
as you can see from the front.. the fit is perfect.

Jersey said I would get mine this week when I called last week .
You must have gotten mine
It looks good, it may be worth the wait

I removed mine.... Found one of them separating on the inner side... I put them on when it was pretty cool in the garage... I'll try again when we have a few hot days(hopefully the tape will stick/ cure better) and try the tip mentioned earlier... I think I got mine back in March(technically still Winter) They look great on your car...

Very Nice Wolfdogs! That's the review I was looking for, Jersey sent me an e-mail a few days ago and my shifter **** is also finally on it's way. I guess it's time now to order these as well.

Looks great and you are right the color choice really goes well with the overall look of your Vette, nice job.

Looks good man! I got my mine on Saturday but its been too humid here to install them. That tip with the hook to pull the inner fender is good advice it seems .

looks good, ever thot about the calipers getting done in black? the brownish kinda grey we get stock doesnt do our darker colored cars any favorites. be safe, paul
