rear vents

[gtbigup01]

Discussed a million times, I know, but does $250 sound like a reasonable amount to have them removed and painted by a body shop professionally?

too high. im having my rear chrome bumper, ss bumper cover, grille shelle, and maybe my vents done for $250

Take them off yourself...you can drive without them...drop them off and have them painted so they dont charge you labor fees for removal and installationg

ok. I was too scared to break them, rather have the shop screw up so they will fix. Guess I'll do it myself then. Thanks guys

i was nervous too but i just took mine off myself and i got them painted my factory white for 65 bucks from a good small paint shop here. to get them off started from the bottom and stuck the handle of a wood spatula under the bottom part and pryed it up and it popped out. then work your way up with the last 3 clips just pulling by hand

what about painting the plastic between your windshield and your hood? that would be sweet

How much can you get smoothed out rear vents for and do they even make them?

 

[Effeckt]

You can get them for $150 for smooth ones from www.stylintrucks.com. I don't know if you plan to paint them body color or black but here are mine painted body color to give you an idea.

Man, those smooth vents (smooth corners now) look really nice.

I have the smooth vents painted high gloss black and IMO thats the best $150 or so anyone could spend on the outside of these trucks.. but $250 is high.. and who gives a shit if you break the old ones.. i threw mine away anyway..

Get the smoothies..
