Only problem is it is aluminum and it will oxidixe from the air. If you live in the north where it snows....forget it! I just repainted mine black. They turn silver on there own.

 

couldnt you just put a couple coats of hi-temp clear on it to keep it from oxidizing

 

Or you could purchase the Ralliart one if ya got the $$. And I feel that for the $180 for the Ralliart piece, that's just as easy as doing this work yourself. But I am all for doing things the cheap way as well. Plus you have the pride of doing it yourself!

 

I live in belgium Not much snow over here. Only few days a year.

Indeed Now it costs me nothing at all, only a bit work but i like to do that

p.s. : I'm out of bed now so in a couple of hours the vent will be ready

 

Ok here is the update :

Washing of the paint with high pressure washer:


Clean, and ready to be polished:


1 spoke polished:


Complete vent polished:


On the car:

that looks good.....im so jealous(your car)

 

I just used paint remover and a hand sander and stripped mine. Looks great.

 

Definately gonna have to give this a shot.

 

looks just like my ralliart vent, good job man

 

mine looks like that and I never took it off, the heat from the motor just melted it off...

 

looks great, i want to try it.

 

Hmm... Something different. Nice work!

 

that's pretty different. can't say i've ever seen that before. i wonder if i'll be able to do that to the vent on my EVO VII hood that's coming in? good job!

 

Looks great man, nice job
