        remember, this is my origonal car. it lived its last years as a silver car but, was the color that 81 in the pic.
        see, vents and redish/brown top


        funny thing, i always hatted the silver and wished it was still the factory color. i was able to get my wish with GMGT. i will be trying to restore the origonal fenders and install em on GMGT one day.

          Please dont. The vents would ruin the look of the car I think, looks great as is.

            only if you make the vents functional

                  Mothballs?

                  Though, having a spare set of fenders tucked away in Boeshield sounds like an excellent idea.

                    I like the fender vents... but GMGT doesn't need them. Its perfect!
                    I wouldn't object if you put them on though
