True Fender Vents
Finally got around to taking pictures of my vented front fenders. All polished aluminium then power coated. Double plated the sheet metal cut outs to exceed the factory strength. Had to make up a scorpion tail styled 304 stainless steel 3/4 gallon washer jug to allow passage for the passenger side vent piping. Reused the origional pump and low fluid sensor. Jug uses all the factory mountings. There's nothing in your way on the drivers side. Will eventually install a narrower battery for the under hood vent. It's kinda close. Over all,there's much better cost effective mods to displace heat. But it looks Sooooo Good! Squirrel Crusher

Re: True Fender Vents
Squirell, they look outstanding, very "factory custom" looking.
I really enjoy seeing all the imaginative mods people come up with for these cars.
And yet, they look great when left perfectly stock as well. Can't ask for any more than that.

Re: True Fender Vents
I've talked about wanting to make those faux vents real. Good job.
But for us dummies, what is the expected air flow and what and how much of a difference is this going to bring?

I have considered this site or Cold Air Induction. Cosmetics is why I didn't.
But these look cool.
