Side Vent options
 
I have spent the last half hour searching online and on here. Im obviously doing something wrong. I want to see what options there are out there for aftermarket side vent replacement. It seems like a simple part to remove and snap in another. If they havent come up with something it seems like a no brainer :)

I've been disappointed with what's available so far. Hopefully something better will come along. Personally, I'd like it to become an actual vent. I can bake cookies on the hood of my car.

I wouldn't think it would be hard to make a 3 vent insert or something haha

in order to make it a functional vent you would need to be willing to cut metal out of the fender.

Yep, I'm willing.

I want an option where the entire thing is pretty much a vent with just the outer rim being color matched.

Sooooooo I did cut my finders and installed the Prova vents and made everything functional. They come prepainted

How's the paint quality on the Provas?

I'm sure i can't be the only one here who wants the vents to have built in side markers.....

I wish the fender garnish wasn't even there. It detracts from an otherwise really well-streamlined profile.

So I've seen the paint on the white and the dark blue so far. The paint match quality on the dark blue was spot on. Because the white is a pearl on our cars, it's not perfect. But from 5 feet away, it's pretty damn close. Prova is a very small shop that is distributed by Fujitsubo, which in the US is distributed by Tien. But Tien USA will not distribute anything from Prova, let alone the very limited selection they'll distribute from Fujitsubo.

I was hoping to find something along these lines.

Those are s-craft fenders. You can find them on japanparts.com

I don't like any of them.
