Hey Everyone,
Just got my UW 15 last week.. I really like the look of the side vents Black on the fenders. Does everyone use Tom's?? I feel like $200 for 2 pieces of vinyl is a bit overkill..
Any other options out there??

Local vinyl/wrap shops are another option.Originally Posted by Ratedg

Personally I think it looks great in photos, but a bit tacky in person since the fender lines are "extrapolated" to create the look.

IMHO. Just about everything they sell is overpriced! Was wondering same damn thing myself -what are some other options. Realize my opinion doesn't mean jack ******, but I honestly wouldn't want anything on my car that has a big "Toms" stamped on it.

I have the Artisan Spirts carbon fiber sides and they are stunning. The fitment and quality is perfect. Highly recommend this addition, especially to separate yourself from RC cars.

Vinyl < Toms carbon < Artisan spirit
Those are the best options.
contact us for pricing for the toms carbon or the artisan!

How are those Artisan Spirit side covers installed? Are they just a stick on jobby or a panel replacement?

Thanks Josh, my car came with the Tom's vinyl but it's a horrible DIY job so they have to go. Originally Posted by Meraki Autoworks

The Toms sheets are actual carbon fiber with sticky back, different than vinyl. FWIW

if this is the case then thats pretty cool. OP could also go to a shop where they do wraps and ask just for the side vents. Im planning to do that for my hood.Originally Posted by Mingofish

Sorry, I just noticed this. My RCF is currently at the dealership for a few days so I can't get any close up pics at the moment. I have a few pictures on my Instagram page you can view for now till I get my RCF back.Originally Posted by GunnyFitz
