This is not a mod to think about Granby just buy it and do it the more you think about cutting a hole in the roof the less you will want to do it

We both picked ours up from jap performance parts... we did originally look at new ones from japan from japanparts which was viable until the exchange rate went pop and the prices shot up then got second hand kits for the same price as we would have had the new ones for originally.

As Si said we picked the flaps up secondhand, both of them were in great condition but sonic blue so they had to be painted. Even new the flaps only come painted in a few basic colours so budget for that if your colour is not available from the factory.
As they were being painted we decided to loose the OE sticker on the underside of the vent and glad we did, I'm so pleased, the cool grey works very well with the grey trim

You know you want to

I have been out for a little run tonight after changing the top mount over to make sure all was sealed well and when getting near home and dropping speed I thought flaps up and from a practical point of view they certianly let some air into the cabin ! this is going to be great in the warmer weather with no air con fitted it has to be one of the best mods I've done for a long time.

Yes lets see a few pics there Danny
