umm...when it comes to panels, typically the orifice area are for aerodynamic purposes. whether to draw in air or relieve high pressure or divert/channel to other parts of the vehicle. This is especially true for most newer vehicles with many manufacturers using wind tunnel testing in various sports cars.
So I im not to sure that a vent in a fender is there for the main purpose to "shave weight". Now if holes were made into the shell metal, that would make sense.
