The vents look better painted black in the other photos.

yup. It is better painted. Some leave them as is and looks unfinished.

Where did you get these "vents"?

From Sin at AeroJacket. Did you you get yours from him or from Fly1? They're next to each other. AeroJacket makes Fly's vented fenders.

I ordered mine from someone named "Rich" from Aerojacket idk if he's under some other username but the ones I have don't have a vent. Are these a separate piece or made into the fenders?

Made into. Not separate. So you got one without an opening and a screen? Did you ask for vented?

i got one with an opening, just no screen. When I placed the order I asked for the vented fenders. It has an opening, just not the mesh screen behind it

Got it. I can tell you that the screen was cut and molded in from the back side when i bot it. That's additional work if not yet there but not difficult to do. How much did you pay for the pair if you don't mind me asking?

About $750, I ordered though Aerojacket and the photos from the thread I got them from had these "screens" in all of their pictures. That's why I'm confused as to why Mine aren't there

No mesh? Painted? You might want to check but for the price it should be meshed. Not that it's hard to do, fact is its easy, but man. I would suggest finding a mesh to your own liking, they use plastic.
