Personally I think the lebron vents look the best, many XJ owners go that route that you guys might be seeing me do something similar in the near future.

Sorry about the pics, best I have of the vents. The vents are from the front grill of a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am, $5.35 for the pair.

I just scored a set of hood vents off a 1981 Honda Prelude earlier this week for $5.00. I've only ever seen one other XJ with these. I haven't gotten them installed yet. They can be seen in this picture here:



As soon as I get them installed, I'll post up a pic.
