Vented Fenders
 
Hello,
Are there any louvers to vent the front fenders that are known to work? I do not want to swap out my fenders as a whole, and I haven't seen an actual topic that does show any evidence/suggest which ones to get. I am talking about venting the wheel well, not try to evacuate air out of the engine bay (have Verus hood louvers). Thanks

Are they like known to work? I have seen them before, but once again I have never heard actual claims/data. Not trying to do it for looks, and I don't wanna cut them up for something that just may be functional ya know.

No
Unless you spend alot of time removing the inner fender well and doing a bunch of ducting.

If you cut out the liners yeah, they do something. I'd imagine they are a end of the chain mod though. What else you have done to your car and what are you doing with it?

Yes they do something, yes they work. I have been to the wind tunnel and have numbers to back it up.

From Race Louvers: "
Note - For maximum efficiency we recommend the inner fender liners be removed. If the inner fender liners are to be retained we recommend cutting a hole in them near the louver and covering the hole with a screen, this will make the louvers functional while still providing protection from debris.
Race Louvers is proud to offer our new FL fender louvers for the rear lower area of a front fender. They are design to extract air from within the front fender area increasing front downforce, improving splitter functionality and improves cooling by pulling air from the bottom side of the radiator. The lower fender pressure also aids in front brake rotor cooling as brake duct airflow is increased."
