These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

16 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bought them used on ebay for a goof.

POST 2Original post

Would have to see a shot from further back to get the effect.

POST 3Original post

I like 'em, Ray. Breaks up the black, but looks like it belongs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

POST 4Original post

Accent colors always look good on black, I say keep em on

POST 6Original post

Looks good, but really need a pic of the entire car to get the full effect. Funny, I posted a thread about how black scoops would look an a seal grey car.

POST 8Original post

I do like also. I concur, we need a shot from a distance, to get the whole side of the vehicle.

POST 9Original post

I'd bet the grey goes nice with the wheels...though Arctic Silver might be a closer match. Black on white looks nice.

POST 10Original post

I wonder how the Seal grey sides look on a Lapis Blue body?

POST 11Original post

Looks real nice I like the contrast . How did you get the grills off the car ?

POST 12Original post

I like the contrasting color for the vent as long as it ties into other things on the car. I think if you're going to do it, get the 03/04 like the OP did.

POST 13Original post

I like 'em! Anything to break up that slab side! (and why I like the PORSCHE stripe too!)

POST 14Original post

Hey guys, is there a way to replace the inner assembly for the side grills? Not sure if there is a separate part for the inner piece that the grills clip into. The passenger's side of my 03 is just held in place by the screw as the inner pieces are broken.

POST 15Original post

Anyone thought of doing red to match brake calipers? I was thinking of that but wonder if the seal gray looks more subtle.

POST 16Original post

I agree with PW. It looks good, but it will be even better if you match the wheels. I had Arctic Silver. For yours, I'd say paint the wheels the Seal Gray.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
