The only way for those vents on the FR-S to be functional is if it were properly ducted using air channels in the well. But for some reason i seriously doubt Toyota would engineer a functional fender duct in this car, as i dont see a serious demand to pull more air out at the performance it has and the weight. It just doesn't have enough load.
If anything its just for looks, and i personally don't care much for it.

And it needs something there for the crease below the window to end at, right?
