I think I would rather run the car fenderless than use those.

I love most of norms products. This is not one of them.

I sort of have to agree with Miller, damn it stop doing that Miller.  However "run the car fenderless" might be a bit harsh so I will just say they are not for me.

Different strokes... If we all liked the same fenders, hoods, spoilers colors, cars etc, the world would be pretty boring. Me, I like 'em!

I don't care for them myself, but..........I looked at the rest of the stuff and didn't realize how inexpensive these were. I'm rather shocked actually! Wow! Very affordable IMO. :)

From some pics I like from others not so much.  Instead of having the vents stick out might look kind of cool if they were recessed.

Yeah. They stick out too much for my taste and the other one shows the shock. Not nuts about that either, but the rest I love :)

I'm still waiting on my set along with the 430 style bumper and GXP side skirts. I had the side skirts and loved them, but they were damage in a wreck. I decided it was time to upgrade to some more of Norm's stuff. My bumper was badly damaged, so now is the time to go 430 style! Norm does excellent work!

Oh, believe me, I've been waiting patiently since early August. Here is where I am right now. I did all the repairs myself and I have a new hood ready to install. I went ahead and took the time to install the DDM Works Backbone, Magnaflow exhaust, a Kicker CompVT sub-woofer in place of the stock one, and did some sound deadening on the interior. I'm jonesing like no other to get this thing back on the road!

Nice to see another take pride in their own car.  Great job!
I like the blue intake pipe, who powder coated that for you?

Actually, the intake pipe was made by a company called HPS. Yeah, I had never heard of them either, lol. It came with a K&N filter.

They're on my car- i think they accentuate the body lines and they work to vent the heat from the motor! Which is totally necessary when running a larger turbo. And it looks a ton better than just a big ass hole in the fender!
