Ugh... got my hopes up too.... those have been posted before I believe they are non-functional, a vendor did say they were working on functional ones, but still haven't seen them make it too market.

Those are A-Panel replacements, I was hoping to see a wide body kit type product with functionalvents installed.

Yeah but I'm not cutting into my hood til I have a CF spare lying around Even then I'd need to contact Blake and see what it would take to redo the trim pieces wider, actually this is sounding quite doable as a means to vent the engine bay even more.....

But I've decided we would be better off taking the Grassroots Motorsports reccomendation, we need someone else to sponsor us so they foot the bill of the mods, gas, track time, we just engineer it and have fun driving. Hmmmm

tasteless

Wow! Talk about overkill. Designwise those things are way out of place. It makes the side look too busy and im pretty sure that you wouldn't be able to desipate heat from there. Hood vents are more reallistic and functional.

Hi Guys....

Samtrak and M7 have been working hard on getting the vented fenders
to production soon. So expect delivery early to mid January....

Images coming soon.

Nice! Anything we can do to reduce heat in the engine bay, is a really good thing!

I think they look pretty cool, would be better if they actually worked.

My idea is something along the lines of Carpe Diem's signature (I think Rally may have a copy :nudge::nudge

I doubt a vendor would release a photo until the product is in or near production to prevent tiping their hand before they are on the market, just as a business move, not anything personal
