So I did it, 3d carbon side vents install
So I pulled the trigger. I purchased these 3-D carbon side vents about eight months ago. I had them painted and have been nervous about actually cutting into the side of my car. I did a lot of research on them and it did not seem that hard of an installation. My dad is really handy and I had confidence that he can do it. So I went over to his house today and it only took a couple hours. The lines came out perfect my dad did a great job. I am really happy that I did it. But it was nerve-racking watching my car being cut into.

Looks great!! These are definitely on my wish list, but like you I'm sure I will be nervous as hell about cutting into the car.

They look awesome, nicely done. I just ordered these for myself and have been toying with the idea of self install. 3 weeks to think about it.

Thanks! It was rough was watching it. I thanked I aged like 5 years in the process!
 And don't think about to much. I wasted like 5 months to install these. Just do it! |

Yep, simple process. Just trace and cut. The hardest part was keeping the wheel straight |

Other than the template are specific instructions and did you use a cut off wheel?
