I have had my Camaro 2 LS for about 2 months now, I am thinking about Getting Side Chrome vents.
But what is a good brand ??
If you have them on yours, what is your experience with them ?
What Brand did you Use and How much did they cost.
Also, I am wanting to change my license plate lights and interior lights as well, I want Oracles, is there a place in Houston that is an Oracle Dealer ???

Can't help you with the side gills, but the lights I'm good. You can go to aacstyle.com and order the lights. I believe an interior LED kit costs $27. All their products have a lifetime warranty as well, which is a big plus for me.

If you're set on going to a dealer, you can get on the oracle lighting website (www.oraclelighting.com) and search for a dealer near you by your zipcode.

I bought the chrome ones, and after I got 'em on, didn't like 'em. They looked too fake, so I just ordered some vinyl gill stripes on Ebay for like $10.00 and stuck 'em on, they're really great in protecting the gills and very easy to clean, cheaper too...

@ Stieger, Yea they have one in Houston, but I dont think the web site is updated that often. Yea I have been lookin at asstayle, I just don't want to wait. hahah and my 7 year old loves your car, saw it in the gallery the other day !! she said I need to get my lights like yours.

Thank you much, if you give them a call you should be able to find out if they can do it. I had trouble locating a shop to do mine, ended up just going the DIY route.

I bought mine from Phastek and were around $100. Not too crazy about them. I wish they were a little pre bent or i should have bent them before install to fit the shape of the car better. the tape does not hold well and is coming off. need to remove, bend and re-apply. Plus it seems like they could have cut them to fit the exact shape of the gill slots. I like them but could be better!

I got mine from RPI for $20. Carbon fiber vinyl. Haven't had a problem with them yet.

uhhmmm, cool. I see that defenderworx is what GM uses, and they have Dealer price. Any one use SAA or Putco brand for the gills? I just dont want to throw something on my car and it come off along with my paint.
