I didn't much care for the look of the screens here but the slotted chrome vents looked nice (IMHO!) Never used those fog lamps anyway here in Northern Cali.

I picked these up from forum vendor Motor Sport Image.
Didn't see dthem listed under motor sport image. Does anyone carry them for the sides and rear? thanks

Okay Folks,
Your right.
We have been selling them for about 6 months and totaly forgot to have our webmaster put 'em on the web site

Anyway, they are available in two finishes - Brushed or Polished. The 4 piece set in brushed are $149.97 and the Polished 4 piece set is $249.97.

The manufacturer has had very few requests for the side fender grills and rear bumper grills so they have not built them.

Sorry for the wild goose chase through our web site. If I didn't know better, I would think that this was a shameless plot to have you tour our web site , but it isn't. It was simply an oversite on my part.

The good news is that RamjetVette is MSI's webmaster so when he gets back from a car show this weekend, he will be adding them to our site. RamjetVette and I got a good chuckle out of the fact that we had both forgotten to put them on and so today when I saw the thread I said "Well at least now you have pictures to put on the site as well".
Some times we crack each other up.

Nice work with the Zaino Roger Good luck this weekend.

I have a mag red also and I just ordered the 4 piece set from MSI a few minutes ago and they are going to look awesome. They were very nice to deal with over the phone and they said that they would probably ship them out today, GREAT! Thanks for sharing. Doug

I ordered a set and the guy said I had to jack up the front but I don't have a jack and don't know where to jack it up. I have a friend with a z06, do they come with a jack? I have an ACI chin spoiler which might get in the way. Do I need to take it to a shop and put it on the lift?

Finally installed the grills and had a chance to take some pics so I figured I'd revive this thread. I think it constrasts nicely on a black car:

Hi "RJ",

Nice look. And, BTW, your paint looks so nice and reflective. And, it looks like others have sent us even more eye candy. Great pics everyone. And, thanks for sharing.

Best Wishes,
Eden

The kit comes with a bunch of "L" brackets and self tapping screws - on one side is double-sided tape, nothing on other side. The proper way to install them is first you need to drill holes in the brackets, then line up the grills on the car and measure 5/16" in from the edge of the grill, stick the brackets onto the car, then line up the holes on the grill to the brackets and screw the self-tapping screws. That's the proper way - I justed used double-sided tape on both sides much like the way Z06 screens are installed. I hope they stay......
