Fender vents - which one...

OldFart · 12-11-2014, 08:42 PM

Want a pair of vented fenders, all the available vented fenders look the same, admittedly Fly1's I like and even Carbon Signals, but with PA roads, I fear the fenders would get torn up in short order with chipping.

I have 2 fenders coming and looking to do one of the following, I like the MRWorks GT version but would like to keep the turn signal light. The other is one I found on Bulletproof's blog, a tad different setup as they put the vent in the skirt. I would still keep it in the fender. Sorry about the size of the pics.

Here are pics of both. MRWorks fender vent

Unknown from Japan, but digging this design, can make it easily functional and still retain
the turn signal indicator.

I vote #2

I thought there was an option for turn signal on #1 (well, a body shop could make it work if you want), but otherwise I like #2 as well.

Any further away pics of #2?

I think it could be placed below the bodyline and still look alright. I'm going to be mocking up some cardboard this weekend to see what I can come up with.

#2, only if you can make it functional to the engine compartment.

Does this count? Hood is getting painted come springtime, if there is differences in the shades of black with nthe new Nismo front end, everything will be blended, figured if I was going to do the fenders now would be the time to do it.

My fenders get my vote

OMGWTFBBQ · 12-11-2014, 11:06 PM

What do you think about these?

Vented fenders and keeps the turn signal functionality.

I personally have the Varis front wide fenders, but they're not for everyone I guess.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Yes I designed mine and had them made through my partners at DTM Autobody. Expensive but at the cost of like 4 -5 sets of varis fenders!!!
