Correct, you need to cut the fender a bit to maximize the heated air out from the engine bay. Even not cutting it, it does reduce a tiny bit.

Also need to make check off few things.
1. Rust - When you cut the fender, you need to make sure to treat the cut area, so rust won't happen.
2. Flow - Like you seen in the GRMN ver, it's a mix of TRD and STI. If you just do zenki BRZ style fender vent and hole, it create unnecessary flow (or whatever one of GRMN engineer told me).
3. Water/liquid coming in - Everyone wants this vents... but not everyone live or drives in the place that's ideal for this car. If we don't have close option, we'll not only get rust on the fender, but on the frame or even battery.

Just my 2yen
