Fender Vents
The xB has always appeared to me to have a lot of "room" just behind the front wheel and before getting to the front door. Somehow it looks like it needs something there. I was in Advance Auto yesterday and say these "fender vents" that just apparently stick on. Have you seen anything like this on the second gen xB? I have spent half an hour online looking and could not find. I tried to paste it on an xB in Corel Paint Shop Pro but could not get the background white to match the color of my car. Any suggestions or pics to share?

Do not do that. Only butchered POS cars, and Impala's with 22's or ____ty ___ cars put those on there. Please do not destroy your car by putting those on...

I can take a few pics of riced out hondas around here that rock those for you if you'd like. They come in plenty of colors. Some of the cars that have them are even multi colored.
Please don't.

This would loom awsome especialy if u got a 4deck 60in spoiler to match.
Maybe some spinning chrome hub caps?
Saddest day ever was when I saw a car which had not just one set of thee but a second set on his quarter panel!!!!!

Honestly, I would not do this to my car. It always looks tacky and just stuck on. No one believes that they are functioning fender vents. They are the definition of R.I.C.E. and, apart from their cosmetic function, they are completely pointless. If you want a functional fender flair, or at least something that could be made functional, looking into an aftermarket fender. Extreme dimensions makes one that looks much better than a stick on ever could.
In my honest opinion.. pasting on fake side vents is like painting fake abs on yourself when you've got a beer belly. Everyone knows they are fake, but if it makes you feel better, then by all means, go ahead.

LMAO Never have I seen such a hateful thread before.
Honestly, they're tacky, and most cars have them. Ignore the fenders and instead, consider chrome door handles or window trim if you want to make the box stand out better.
For a while, I debated on whether or not I should get chrome pillar trim, but they go great with my theme for my box. Here's an unfinished picture for you:
The fake stick-on vents are really tacky. Don't use them.
