WOW! Thanks for the heads up. I am ordering mine now. I am going to try to cover my MINI with them. I hope they sell more. I bet they add horse power too. It looks like I could get atleast 10 WHP out of a set of those babys. And they are going cheap too.

WTF??? I feel sorry for the poor MINI owner who has to fake excitement when he/she receives THAT for x-mas.

Nice NAM name, MiniBetterThanBeer! And welcome (I see you are a newbie)!

It particularly gave the minivan a high performance edge.

hmm... i like how they threw that pic of an M3 in there for comparison. you cant even tell the difference b/w the M3's scoops and the magnetic ones!!!






i cant tell the difference!



Also, it looks like they went runing around a parking lot slapping one on the cars and taking pics of them on different cars!

I love the ones on the doors....

Remember the saying "there's a sucker born every day". Heck, it's cheaper than under body neon.....

The thing that sucks it that they'll sell tons, and probably net more than my anual take home after getting a PhD!

Life just aint fair...

"These fender vents attach & re-attach in seconds by magnetic adhesion , used widely in the industrial field. In NO way will these vents mar your cars finish. If ever the need to take them off this can be accomplished in TWO seconds...."

TWO SECONDS? To remove a magnet? No way!!

"Some ebayers are telling me they are getting more power and better gas milage after they put the scoops on..."

SUH-WEET My bonnet stripes give me 12 BHP

He also sells carbon fiber cupholders

That's awesome!!! I ordered a set of three...they will look great with my fake bullet hole stickers and gold-tone curb feelers with matching gold trimmed mud flaps that stick out of my fenders at a 45 degree angle.

I know that when I am in my Porsche, I ALWAYS have a Big Gulp at my side. And God knows how many cuts and scrapes I get while shifting, so that neat first aid kit is just right for me!

If only they had pics of someone who had put them on the lower leading edge of their side windows. Then they would have...vent windows! <groan>

That cupholder truly looks like cheap ***** torn out of a crappy 15 year old minivan.
The "marketing" however of both these products, is awfully amusing.

Aww... Yucca. I wouldn't blatently make fun of you... unless your fan really is THAT bad!! I like threads like this because I can be critical to NON-NAMmers. And I don't need to know anything about anything to see that these are silly products. It's a victim-less crime.

Oh, and for the right price I would be more than happy to ENDORSE your fan mods.
