What's the point of these? All the new Cadillacs already have side vents built in. |

Maybe powder coating them would look nice. I'm willing to be proved wrong though. |

Cadillac's have the vents stock, and they are functional. The vents depicted here are just stick-ons. They look like hot garbage. |

Solid fender/engine compartment behind them. Agree though that they are not stick-ons - there is a hole cut in the OUTER skin of the fender. But seriously, how much better is that than stick on anyway? If you must have vents, stick on are the way to go. That way, when the Ford Focus with vents pulls up along side you, and you have buyer's remorse, they can be removed. I can't remove mine...
Also, for stick-ons, these (above) are the best I have personally seen. I did not realize they were stick ons immediately. For somebody with a current generation STS, it would look "newer" I suppose , and all but the car knowledgeable would might assume they were OEM.

These are CNC machined billet aluminum pieces that are built and triple chromed here in the USA. Thanks for the support man.. haha. |

Yours are the best looking and most convincing I have seen. Heck, even my OEM vents on my Lade are plastic while your are billet! If somebody wants vents without cutting up their fenders, yours are the way to go. Thanks for being a supporting vendor. |
