A pair of the footwell air vents as fitted to US spec non A/C cars I believe. Hard to find over here - I have a pair but I haven't got round to fitting them yet.

I had my car for a couple of years before I discovered it had footwell vents. They really do help when driving down the road on hot days, but they're not AC if you're sitting in stalled traffic under the blazing sun...

They do look good.
So now the question is can the rest of us still get them and if so where from or if we cannot, is there an alternative that can be used?

Original one's are very rare over here and the last set I saw for sale on UK Ebay I was up the NEC and had no bl88dy phone coverage and couldn't bid on [:(] The last set I saw on US Ebay went for $ 140 plus P & P [:0] so went for a set Ted Schumachers repo's not the same design BUT do the same thing and were a simple fit [^]

I got a set of trims of S & S Preperation and recovered them as they only have tan in stock, listed under the <font color="green">SPECIAL OFFERS </font id="green">

I had to shut mine last week as it was a bit nippy in the morning. Ankles got chilly quick.
