Guaging interet. If Rommel were to make the 08 rear vents, who'd buy em?

I know I wasn't the only disappointed one when we found out the rear vents don't fit USDM cars. So I talked to Rommel(thanks again for your help) and he said he'd look into it. So to show that there is an interest in them who would buy a set or the rear vent inserts like the JDM/Aussie cars have?

for reference

lol i wonder if you've talked with Rommel before u started this thread...

lol i just don't see much profit margin for this...

if you guys want something bad enough, this is something easy to do it yourself

hmm you can start off my order those from Graham and work with it to fit

i'm sure shaving some corners would do it

I don't get it...don't you need the bumper too?

OK, the JDM ones do not fit USDM bumpers. So the OP is gauging interest in having these copied and produced to fit USDM bumpers.

...As in, we'd just cut a hole in our bumper and stick 'em in? The '08s and JDMs have molding to the bumper that conforms to the vents. I guess my question is, it won't look the same, will it?

Or are they talking about a whole new bumper with vents in it? I don't think this is what your talking about.

You want to help me try? I have two sets.

You can always get it painted yourself locally, its probably too much work for him to get such a small piece painted.

no profit margin FTL!

hmmm actually i'm curious to see how they look

In the thread I linked to a bunch of us were ready to buy the rear vents since a lot of us don't like the rear reflectors. We thought the easy option would be to install the rear vents off of a JDM or Australian model. Hoping they'd be a direct bolt in a couple guys had some on order. One person finally got a set and found out that the mounting doesn't at all match up, and the vents (iirc) are to large for the hole the reflectors fit in. Even after some trimming down they would still not fit or he could not get anything to line up. I was ordering a RBS V2 rear spoiler for my car and asked Rommel if he may be able to come up with something similiar to install in there instead of the rear reflectors. He said he'd look into it. Basically with this thread am just trying to show him that there is a demand for a reflector replacement and that if I could get enough people together maybe he'd seriously look into it (not saying he isn't) and produce something similiar to the rear vents on the JDM cars.

Obviously you have no clue. The JDM vents will not fit, I don't care how much modding you do. Been there done that.

IC, thank you! My confusion was because I thought you meant for Rommel to make vents that could go in my '06 bumper.
