Instead, I was helping navigate a charity cruise, and didn't expect to be taking any photos. Lesson learned... bring everything, all the time, lol!!!
Isn't that the truth when you go for an initial event that turns into something else lol. But still, nice work on the pictures without the right filters so you made the most of it mate!

Had to look it up to verify and the Club Lexus forums came with the right link for the RC F. According to the blog post, they call them "spats."

The far edges of the front and rear bumpers have been shaped to direct air smoothly along the side of the car, while front and rear wheel spats reduce the amount of airflow hitting the tyres. Liners in the wheel arches – with a different design for the front and rear – reduce air turbulence around the wheels.
Honestly, engineers will always take an existing design if there is a possibility to add additional body pieces for some drag reduction at a minimal cost to the OEM. Probably, FHI uses the same body molding supplier for Toyota to acquire the design patent for it to then have it manufactured for the BRZ/86.

What is behind those vents? Are they real or fake?
Pictures and Videos from the Unveiling show that the vents are functional. Small cutouts through the front bumper and the front wheel wheels are shown, but how wide those openings are what we will need to see more information about.
