Fender Vents /_ / /_ / /_ / TL

Ok I know that these Fender vents are considered ricey but today I saw this cadillac CTS with these 3 parallelogram shaped vents and it did not look cheesy @ all in fact i felt it complimented the car well. Now since both that car and ours are made with distinct lines i think it would have the same touch w/ our cars.

Also its the alternative ive been looking for because i don't feel like drilling holes into the fenders(sidemarker) Id rather stick these things on and take them off later if i have to.

Help me find this or something similar (high quality only plz) I tried a search but couldn't find it. Hopefully someone has seen these and knows what im talkin bout. thankss

I didn't know CTS had those vent ports on the fenders. That's a classic Buick touch and I can't imagine Cadillac stepping on their toes. Are you sure it was a CTS?

Regardless, I'd much rather have a functional vented hood than vented fenders. Since our cars have inner fenders in the engine bay, it won't be able to vent out the hot air as efficiently as a vented hood could.

fsttyms1: Are these the fenders you are referring to? Or maybe this is what CalvinsBlkTL was referring to.
