Side vents or what do you call this exterior stuff?..
Hi folks, I wanted to add a cool detail to my G8's body, and wanted to ask you folks what is the right name for this stuff?.. I See the pic, I circled what I am talking about. And it these are not 'side vents', by the way, as I searched for the G8 side vents and here is what Amazon showed me (all sorts of wind deflectors):

Anyways, here is what I am looking for:

I might be wrong but I think you would have to get the complete fender. I have never seen just the 'vents' available.

Oh thanks, folks! I already thought that I am stupid, as I could not find anything close to what I was looking for. Now I see... You know, I thought these are something kinda stick-on trim, you know, like those mazerati-style vents they sell on e-bay...
Okay, now I will talk to a guy from a bodyshop, let's see what he says and how much will the job be $$$$
Cheers!
Relax, there aren't any stupid questions.
Shame what you want to do is so expensive though.

I have fiberglass look alikes you could mold into the fender. I didn't wanna use them because they arnt that good looking and didn't want to mold and paint and risk them needing fixed.
Bit it's a better option then the $5k for real ones.
