Depends I don't like them Becuase the are not functional like the real evo ones also they don't look bad but u can see the paint behind the vents maybe if You put black vinal behind it. It would look better.

 

yes they are

 

Since they're a surface applied esthetic piece that 'simulates' a functional part, they're precisely what the thread title implies IMHO.

 

You can make them functional, , grab a sawzall? Then they would be functional!

 

yes

 

ghetto isnt the word, but should you get them? no

 

if you have to ask 9 times out of 10 the answer is yes... save your money for functional parts that make a difference in your car...

 

160 is a lot of money.

Buy a set of ddm tuning hids for 50 bucks and take the girl out to lunch/dinner

 

very ghetto.

you should spend money in better places. It isnt an evo, embrace that

 

I was thinking to add something more to the profile of the car, not look like an Evo.

 

If your into it go for it, it's your car.

But if your asking for opinions on whether to get them, your going to get the majority saying NO.

I say NO too, but what should you do with that $160 instead?

Put it toward anything that actually improves your RA.
Brakes, Wheels, Suspension are all good places to start.

I bought my Eibach Pro-Kit Springs for $165 with shipping (hard to get that price though) and that made a big deference in handling. Plus, the car looks a lot better than just throwing some fake fender vents on.

 

Yes.

 

If you are going to spend $160 tinted windows would be a better choice

 

Just get fake portholes, and be done with it.
