These things are old...

I saw a truck with one style on his front quarter panel, then another style ON HIS DOOR.

My next door neighbor (who I despise) has them on his front quarter panel... they're popular for some odd reason.

For those of you that don't know what we're talking about:

I'll have to cut the fenders for the ones on the Grand National...It will help cool the engine compartment...so mine will be functional

yea welcome to 2 years ago. at least thats how long they've rolled around here with them. an yes they usually are put on the shiittiest cars. i actually like the factory ones on the buick lucernes, they flow and are actual portholes cut into the fenders.

short story, shitties car ive seen with them, an old like 90 honda accord with a shitty spoiler an a shitty exhaust, rusted to all hell. had 3 of the Oakley symbols on each side of the front fenders. the worse ive ever seen

[teedot231999 10+ year member]

I might put some on my car if I find some I like. I rather have the ones that are cut and molded in the fender verses that stick on sh**.

There's a difference between pointless ones just for aesthetics and functional ones. M3's and a lot of other performance cars have them (can't think of any other ones). And that's fine... but the ones that are becoming popular are just the stick-on ones that don't do anything at all... if anything, fcks up your aerodynamics.
