I was at Meijer tonight with my finance buying groceries and came across this beauty(?), Thoughts? Comments? vomiting? Just thought I'd share with you.

Sorry for the poor quality, its from my cell.

Eh, makes it look like a Buick.

:yuck: :yuck: :yuck: :yuck:

leave the buick holes on buicks... just my two cents. i've seen them on too many cars with too ugly rimes. oldsmobiles, malibus, etc..

those are not real vent holes - they are just the stick-ons from e-bay...

Yeah, i saw one on a taurus driving around town the other day, even more appalling.

My gawd. Almost as bad as the crapola carriage top... http://planetsmilies.net/vomit-smiley-9529.gif

That LS is bound for the cover shot on a future JC Whitney catalog.

I once saw a late nineties mustang with matte paint, a big black erector set spoiler on the back, and the fake vent holes. I laughed heartily.

i think it kills the look of the car ....... any kind a car

Does anyone know what that black spot above the windsheild is? Rust maybe?

Probably some sort of antenna base.

probably a Xm antenna

I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse... :eek:

VERY tacky.. i like the vents on the new lincolns n cadillacs tho

what you all talking about it looks nice and it is what people using now Thats style so dont hate

Fender vents don't go with the lines of the car, thats why no one likes them. Maybe if the LS was designed with them they might look more appropriate than a faux sticker vent.

yea, i bought the oval ones for like 20 bucks at auto zone thinking they'd look good, i test fit them on about 20 different angles and places.. they look decent on a 45 but better not there at all...

trailer park

so tacky looking...

if i were ever to consider that it would have to be a functional vent "slot" not vents

loco, just my opinion but id scrape those off the car. in your picture they dont look like theyre lined up straight either.

i concure... and further more i hope thats a v6.... those vents originated on the belair and usually are representative of how many cylinders you have.. totally trailor park.. haha buy a straight edge...

Thats funny, I didnt even think to look at the time. However, it would be ironic if it was a V8 with those 6 vents.

stick on anything (be it hood scoops, fender vents... whatever) look like exactly what they are... cheap rip-off substitutes for the real thing. If you can't afford to have a scoop hood installed or holes and trim for your fender... don't do it.

Plus, fender vents look like crap on almost all cars anyway.

dont forget about the stick on fake sunroof

.....pretty lame.

keep Ls's clean looking, no friggin' stickers and crap, makes it look like a honda

M3 vents would look nice, but Buick... not so much.

if youre gonna put them on.. at LEAST make sure theyre square.. lined up.

I think they make any car look CHEAP!!!! Lack in imagination. Lets do what everyone else does. You can buy them at any parts store for $20. I have seen them on everything and anything. They look like arse on everything except a Buick. Just my $.02.

I Really Want To Know What The Horsepower Gain Is On These. Is There A Noticable Difference Between 3 Or 4 On Each Side? Please Tell Me As Soon As You Know. I Have My Buddies Torches Still For The Rest Of The Day. If Its Worth While I Will Do This After Supper.

Most people make the mistake of buying the 3 hole vents for v8's and 4 hole vents for the v6. Its like putting a potato in your muffler. It will cause the clock spring to jump time. Then your screwed.:rolleyes:

Basic rule. One vent hole for each cylinder. Learn it. Know it. Live it.:D

BTW The round vents will give you 30 horsepower more. The square is only 20 horsepwer gain. Round allows the air to flow better.:D

than i Need 15 round vent holes!!!!! =D

Do I have to put these on the front fender? I was going to put a few on the back fender to cool off my brakes a bit.

Basic rule. One vent hole for each cylinder. Learn it. Know it. Live it.:D

Where do I put the ignition cylinder one?? On the left fender or right fender

i think we just figured out the best way to boost the horsepower on our LSs...stick on vent holes. you can probably easily get into the 600s with enough of these things. sky's the limit.

That's some nasty stuff.

Slap on some curb feelers and white walls..... Then you be stylin, Bro! :cool:

How much hp does that fake sunroof add I couldnt find any numbers on it....

I still think adding the carriage top and Pep boys "quad" wiper blades will complete the "look".

Now if only I had the money for a Luois Vitton interior "treatment". Would that look better than this terrible ole leather:

http://home.mindspring.com/~kelleyo/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/bmw005.jpg

ur M5's interior is sick!!

how much HP u guys think i would get out a NOS sticker ??? =D

NOS stickers are 25 hp as long as you're not granny shifting, lol.

I was thinking of adding a sunroof sticker for my trunk and put on in the back for the backseat passengers. I think I may be at 400hp when I'm done. I was going to take off my rims and get me some spinner hubcaps but I figured I may go faster than the speed of light and I don't need any more tickets.

A yellow "NOS" sticker is additional 10hp over the regular "NOS" sticker.

Large wings are additional horsepower. For every inch above the rear deck. Its and additional 15 horses.

ub3r gh3y

them pep boys quad wiper blades suck.. i bought a pair for a malibu that i used to own and they were the worst blades i have ever used. period.

Kinda like mine but may take them off when I put the Wings West kit and Angel Eyes on in March.

I have hole in my fenders but they are all filled with bolts/plastic clips.

May? MAY? No no no, you WILL take them off. Right now as a matter of fact.

I'm thinking about adding some speedholes to the hood.

I think stickers across the top of the windshield look cheap and tacky and lack imagination. Very Ricey at Least IMO.
Not fond of the uptown lowered wagon wheel look either.

But seriously you guys are so conservative and really like to dish it out on this board. I'll be taking the vents off soon and only posted that pic to see who would write the most creative put down.

04SCTLS, at least your fender vent holes match your wheels...........................Almost acceptable...........actually hurry up an take'm off. :D

I'm going to put these 18" wheels and the WW kit on as soon as the snow's gone so I'll probably use the vent holes to decorate the wall behind my living room spa or something.

who would you say is winning so far?

Last but not least we have to remember the spiner exhaust tips, wasn't that Ls pulling like low 6's at the strip:D :D :D

haha.. i just found an srt8 charger on ebay with 6, yes 6 fake vents. the car looks fantastic except for those.

Anybody that can install whistletips in my exhaust? I gotta wake people up so they can make breakfast.

I've noticed that most of the newer cars (like the charger) I see the vent holes on, are cars driven by women.

I agree about the windshield banner. BUT can you say "sponsor"? Thats right. FREE TIRES!!!!!:eek: Only thing I had to do was put a stupid decal on the car. I didn't want a decal on my paint. SO, Dunlop and I settled on a windshield banner.:D

:woowoo2: The whistle tips go :woowoo2:

I have an idea! If you see something on a car from this site then it positively does not belong on an LS! http://www.anti-rice.com/

That site rules, I wish I'd thought of it. BTW, that M5 is friggin sweet.

Seriously, WTF?

is that a rip-off whale tail from a 80's, early 90's 911 Turbo?????

Holy crap batman!

Are some of those body kits just a bunch of bondo smashed onto the car?

Honda Mustang :lol:

Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis are two of my heroes.

ITS A SLEEPER!!!!

they swapd out the 5.0 for B18 C=


i think i need to put a bench on my LS to make it go fast!! and be able to handle better!!

That :q:q:q:q holds down the wheels when you are going 35mph on the way to school.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccgXjA2BLEY best video everrr haha

Please get these on the LS haha

aha I just laughed out loud... "It's that, WOO WOOOOO"... The guy giving the demonstration takes off all fast almost hits a parked car and then runs through a stop sign ahhahahah.

no that was not bub rubb driving, that was lil sis.

Eh, makes it look like a Buick.

I agree... yuck ... Why stick anything on that doesn't work or have a function...

Hate to break the news to all the ricers, but spoilers, vent holes, and stickers actually decrease HP. They create drag and slow the car down. ;)

Might an argument for them IF they were actually functional.:confused:

I was think of adding some Fast and the Furious stickers on mine so I can get under 12. Also going to add 2 wings. One on the trunk and one on the roof :shifty:

Oh I loved that thread... LOL:D

I love how this thread has been thread-jacked from vent holes to ricing to whistle tips. Awesome.

Sorry... But that is ugly. You're right though... This is "what people using now". :rolleyes: The thing is, when these same vent holes are on Civics, 300C's, Magnums, F150's, VW Bugs (yes, I've seen this), and other vehicles that are not Buicks, it looks like every one of those people shop at Autozone/local parts store in the "crappy modification" section.

Don't get me wrong though, some mods look great for the LS. But fake vent holes and spoilers that serve no purpose, make the LS look very "affordable". :shifty:

what you all talking about it looks nice and it is what people using now Thats style so dont hate

its only cool to put the fender vent holes on lambo's and rolls royce's this will make your lambo even faster

i think i want flames on the side of my Ls ....... GREEN FLAMES!
