    its actually for our 4th gens..... i think you can still buy one brand new but its spendy....16 bucks for this one was a good deal.

    heres a quick search

    but those look nothing like the one i have, mine can be taking completely apart, like 5 sections.

    im thinking of taking it apart and wrapping the center metal sections in carbon fiber wrap and then just gloss blacking the sides

    im working on fixing the broken parts right now and letting it cure overnight.

    Good find ! I always thought of them being cool, but seeing the pics on your car... I don't like them at all anymore.

    In combination with the side ones and the matt black ratlook it still looks cool, but not on a clean car I think :)

    Wait till its fixed and finished.....gonna look even cleaner......those picks are straight after the yard find. I had to install it to get it home.

    Gonna plastic dip the sides maybe and wrap the centers in carbon fiber.

    Can't wait


    And I was joking about 400.
