So I bought German made front vent garnishes by Giacuzzo.

Posted pics on Reddit and concenses seems to be that people hate the look. I think they look great but wanted to see what people thought here. So please feel free to critique my car.

They are a negative initial reaction.

Thanks for your input

I remember that post. Still gross IMO. I don't understand the appeal or the purpose of these. They just look like giant blisters on the bumper. At least the front lip, side skirts, spoiler, or even the little "devil's claw" things give the impression of some sort of aerodynamic purpose. These just cover up an already nice bumper contour with a poorly integrated blob.

All that being said, it's your car, great job, enjoy making it your own.

?? Ok, I appreciate your honesty. These actually do have a function which I found out recently. They protrude out the corners more with sharper angles which helps with air flow through the vents

Here's a closer look

At least it's... unique.

I think they need to be painted to match, that would change everything

Not a good look at all.

Thanks for your honesty

I don’t hate them actually. If you paired those with the new ardo front lip I think it would look nice. I don’t like the adro front lip by itself.

Kia Stinger Front Lip V2

Kia Stinger Carbon Fiber Front Lip V2. ADRO Kia Stinger carbon fiber V2 front lip is a two-piece kit that comes with an upper and lower part and still allows the vent to be 100% functional.

Thank you! I've seen that new lip. Pretty radical design and way too expensive for me lol. I actually have the M&S lip which I finally installed after owning it for over a year. I just did an amber delete this afternoon also.

I kind of like them but I am just weird that way. I probably wouldn’t pay to have it look like that but I have seen people do a whole lot of worse things to their car.

 

[Frosty77]

Much appreciated!

 

[TwiceStung]

Uh.......nope. Way too much going on at the front end there. But if you like it, that’s what matters.

 

[eflyguy]

They are ugly, and considering they are completely non-functional, I'd put them right up there with carbon fiber hoods.

 

[Flameangel]

They are certainly different, don't float my boat but it's your car, your taste and your decision, really when it comes down to it, your'e the one seeing it everyday, it's up to you.

 

[Frosty77]

Thanks

They do have a function and so do carbon fiber hoods. Carbon hoods are much lighter in weight than stock but thanks for your opinion.
