Seriously, up to a certain speed everything runs well until the hood messes it up so why not tackle the problem where it coours and not try to lessen its effect by peripheral albeit showy mods? 
Replacing the fake mesh in Subaru's sharkfin fender-thingie won't be a problem IMO, it looks like it's just clipsed in place, anyway.
However, will that really do any good? This morning I checked the engine compartment and nowhere did I see a place to open it to the sharkfins.
Also not too eager to cut parts out of the chassis just to get that done, Subaru would have my a$$ Guarantee-wise.
Anyone have a photo on how the body looks underneath? |
Google a open hood picture or open your own, now look near the back of bay to where the fenders meet, there should be a gap there that goes directly behind the vent. I just googled this myself as I'm at work and my car is stored. So I'm pretty sure all you would cutting is the fender it's self which has nothing to do with the structural integrity, also google the Subaru BRZ 300 race car and their fenders are VENTS.
