Will be painting them a satin black to not stand out so much with my Asphalt FRS....

Nice. I have the carbon ones on their way. Weird how the painted ones only seem to come in white, red or black.

Where did you order these from? I've been looking for them but haven't had any luck finding them on japanparts

I wanted the carbon fiber ones...but couldn't justify the price. I'm excited to get rid of the stock FRS fender vents which I never cared for.

Was wondering what the unpainted natural color would be on these and turns out it's a scale model type ABS gray....

KlafKoon 12-26-2013 12:31 AM

Any update on the finished product?

Vracer111 12-26-2013 09:50 PM

I've been busy with family and such since November and waiting on being able to be off work since it's dark by the time I leave, but I actually painted it 2 days ago (~ 5 coats of satin black + 3 light clear coat layers) and am waiting a few more days to install it. Should have it on next week. I just took a picture of the paint job, will post it up in a little bit.


And here's the picture:

Nice, can't wait to see the installed pics!

mfbmike 12-27-2013 12:17 AM

In for installed pictures.

Just wondering, how secure it is after installed? can it be pull off ?

my TRD tag was pulled off from my front spolier and some attemps on my clear side markers... I am really worry on these parts...

Vracer111 12-28-2013 06:16 PM

And the TRD fender vents are installed...pardon my dirty car.

First two pictures are after the stock ones were removed...

Cleaned up the area where the vents go, got most of the adhesive off and area dried and installed the TRD ones on both sides. Then did 2 layers of wax on the vents. The rest of the pictures are the TRD ones installed...

Stock fender "vents" are pretty easy to pull off...I think these will be a little harder though due to how the adhesive strips run horizontally top and bottom at the rear and there is actually an adhesive pad at the front where OEM doesn't have one.

I have just one from farther away. I can try taking some more, but I'll need to go out somewhere to shoot it: 50mm prime lense on a 4:3 sensor SLR means I have to be way far away to get a whole car in frame. I'll be going to Cars and Coffee this coming weekend so should be able to get some then with the car looking nice.

Looks good, subtle yet noticeable =)

newports 01-04-2014 12:44 AM

Could we get more angles from a far please?

Vracer111 01-04-2014 12:54 PM

On the way home after Coffee & Cars today I stopped off somewhere and took some pictures:

Thank you!! Looks real nice. Been waiting for something to switch out from the original fender vents.

honestly think the original vents look a bit tacky.

I hear you, I never liked the "GT86" fender vents of the FR-S... In person the TRD aerodynamic fender vents look even better than in the pictures. By themselves off the car they look to be a pretty large piece; but once installed they aren't that noticeable from afar at all and flow really well with the fender lines. Also they don't extend out from the side of the vehicle at all...the doors are further out than these vents...

I have some racing mirrors ordered which should be coming in Monday. Will need to fab up the mounting plates and will paint the housing and mounting plates the same as the TRD fender vents. Not sure how long it will take, but I will be taking my time and doing it right. The mirrors will complete the look and improve it even more I think. These are the ones I'll be custom installing:
