Vent pictures
I didn't post pictures because my car was dirty. Cleaned it today so here's some pics. Interesting point - as I washed the car before, when drying it off, I always worried about breaking one of the fins while sticking a towel or Q-tip to dry it off. Not anymore. These babies are solid as a rock. This has been one the BEST investments I've made for this car. Paint and fitment are spot on. Thanks guys.

Thank you for the pictures and the woinderful comments
"We" as in all that worked togther on this project are glad that you folks are happy.
For what it is worth; I had a black no stripe gal arrive at the facility last night and both rear vents are not only warped but also cracked. IMO the timing for these being created could not have been better.

Thank you all for the kind words as shared; Petunia and his team brought these wonderful pieces to market and I was simple given the opportunity to participate in the project.
I know that Petunia enjoyed being able to present such a wonderful and much needed piece for these gals. Many before him tried and for those that are not aware; the machinist that agreed to fabricate these did far more IMO than simply a wonderful job; he did what most shops would not have because the processes involved to create these was extreme with only a modest profit made.
Now on a personal note; I appreciate the manner in which the payments have been coming in. I have tried to thank each person individually and yet sadly I have missed a few so here is a heartfelt thank you to all.

I apologize for the delay but payment has been issued via paypal.
Many thanks to all those involved in making the vent purchase/paint happen, it is greatly appreciated.

Now For Something A Little Different...
Since my plastic OEM Center Vents were just fine I was reluctant to have the new billet vents look just like my plastic vents. So after some research I had them nickel plated. They look like dark chrome in some light, black in others. I think I can get away with this because of the Tungsten GT. In any case, they can be de-plated back to the aluminum base metal and powder coated by S-Man someday.
