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
Well maybe Verus can also make an attachable block off plate for those who live in conditions where it is needed.

See above in red. I'm pretty sure on the GRMN 86, that hole itself on the fender is not even widen/made bigger. still most likely the same default size. At the end, there will be some kind of functional effect which is better than nothing
