Ford seems to be putting them on all of their cars.
I meant the fender vent that's behind the wheel well but those are annoying too.
They looked kinda cool on M and Z vehicles.
Now every vehicle has them. The nastiest ones I've seen are the new Focus, the F-250,350, etc. (they have this crappy red on the inside of it that makes it look horribly like a milk crate), and Dodge Nitro. These few look so cheap that it's an obvious effort to make it look "modern" but they wanted to do it as cheap as possible.
