Anyone making vents for fender garnish?
 
Does anybody know of a vendor producing a functional vent to relace the fender garnish?

I would be wiling to dremel out the openings in the fenders provided the garnishes looked good and functioned to disperse heat from the engine compartment.

Any Vendors?

I'm in the process of doing some pretty aggressive ones atm but as it is just a hobby and not my line of business it could be a while before they're ready for production although having said that the plugs are nearly done and have a guy who is willing to make them.

I have the Provas and they're an upgrade over OEM. You can increase their effectiveness by cutting away some of the inside fender metal, but even without doing that they still work.

can you remove the mesh on the provas?

It looks like they're just held on with two phillips screws so I would guess yes

The fender "vents" aren't exactly a low pressure area. You would be better off cutting the plastic trim between the hood and windshield. You also have to cut away the area behind it to see any inprovements.

It's actually damn near ambient pressure in that area. My vents work very well and highly recommended for others who live in Phoenix like myself

Well, but if they will work may be dependent also on pressure behind them/under bonnet, not just outside pressure, isn't it?

This is incorrect. The cowl/base of the windshield area is a high pressure zone. Google "cowl induction".
