This Craigslist ad cracks me up. $3200 rims and he wants 4500 for the car. Car must be a real POS. Check out the trailers in the background. I needed a good laugh this morning.

This car look clean but don't like rim and fake fender vent. I bet he has clear tail too.

I went to rims store last Saturday. I saw 24" size cost $7000. I just like That's nut. One happy customer girl just brought/install 26" (I think?) size on her custom color pink 1997-2002 Ford Expedition. I sit down and took a look a customer pictures. I have seen few Pontiac Grand Prix SE with huge wheel. This girl who is manager told me that 22" size will look good on my summer car. I told her that you are nut. It will kill my car look. 18" is good enough for me. She disagree with me so I walk it away.

hahah I HATE those fender vents. I see them around here.

yeah I see those dumb vents all the time, can't stand them and don't see the point. Non-functional and don't look good.

They look decent on a couple cars if theyre aligned correctly

lol

Yep you're right but I have a issue with that. I think these vents should only be on buicks, caddy's.

So Buick really start whole fender vent thing?

A little history for ya, palsut:

Portholes and Ventiports

A traditional Buick styling cue dating to 1949 is a series of three or four portholes or vents on the front fender behind the front wheels. The source of this design feature was a custom car (one not made by Buick, but personal car of stylist Ned Nickles), which in addition had a flashing light within each hole, each synchronized with a specific spark plug simulating the flames from the exhaust stack of a fighter airplane. Combined with the bombsight mascot (introduced in the 1940s), the ventiports put the driver at the controls of an imaginary fighter airplane. The flashing light feature was not used by Buick in production, but the portholes remained as nonfunctional ornamentation.

These were originally called "Ventiports" as they did allow air flow into the engine bay (later just "portholes"). Ventiports have appeared sporadically on several models since.
Lower cost models were equipped with three portholes, while higher cost models came with four. Often, people would denote their cars as "Four-Holers" or "Three-Holers" to assert the car's class. When the number of portholes was standardized across the entire model line, buyers of the higher cost models complained bitterly that they felt shortchanged. In 2003 they were re-introduced on the Buick Park Avenue. After the Park Avenue was discontinued, Buick salvaged the portholes to appear on the new Lucerne. In a break with tradition, the Lucerne's portholes refer directly to engine configuration: V6 models have three on each side, while V8s have four on each side.

That's interesting info. Thank for look it up. I went to car show few months ago. Now 2010 Buick have hood vent thing. I guess fender vent thing is over. Now it is hood. Let me find picture that I took.

Trans Ams had fender ports for years and they looked tuff. I have to admit the ones StreetShaker put on his ride are the only ones I've seen to date on anything but a Buick I thought looked good.

the chrome stick-on jobs make me want to hurl.

YUMMM trans am

stick on fender ports /= Trans Am fender ports

THAT is the problem. They're only cool if they work, or at least do a really good job of looking like they do. lol
