2 of the 4 air vents were broken when I got the car. So, I only sacrificed what was already broken.

Either way, I'm ordering 4 new air vents that are black instead of the stock silver color. Will replace the 3 that I still have...

Or, unless you mean that I sacrificed airflow by blocking an airvent, it's not that big of a deal. And it can be removed and replaced with the spare black air vent in literally 30 seconds.

These are the new vents I want, but a set of 4 is pretty expensive! Considering what they are, atleast...

A little snag I ran into today while driving is that since the air vents can spin in their sleeves, the weight of the GPS over the length of the mounting arm causes the vent to slowly spin downwardly when hitting roadbumps, till the point when the GPS isn't straight anymore. Easy to fix, took a few seconds.

I'll mess with it more later and shorten the arm about an inch so it's closer to the dash. That'd be ideal
