Functional front fenders? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

GrabTheWheel · 03-13-2020, 01:53 PM

Anybody try these? https://www.fly1motorsports.com/scio...vented-fenders

I'm thinking the fitment is probably not very good. I've seen people cut a hole in the factory fender but I'd like something more functional. The ones above are popular with the 370 crowd but I think more for hard parking. I'm looking for something that would benefit you on track.

How modified is your car that different front fenders are the next step?

Engine swap, motec ecu with C127 dash. Only stock part left on the car is the factory diff housing, with an OS Giken LSD.

The car is a total Frankenstein at this point.

Does it say how many millimeters they add? Also, What would make a front fender not functional?

Rep of which fenders? Haven’t seen any that look even remotely similar to these. And I’m sorry but I really don’t care if my parts are made in China or Japan. I guess I opt for Japanese because the fitment is usually better.

What is the definition of a rep part? Everybody always copies everyone else’s designs, especially when it comes to wheels. Are Titan 7’s rep wheels? They are made in China and look similar to half a dozen other wheels.

I think it’s like 10mm wider. I’m saying more functional from an aero standpoint.

Might I suggest the varis kouki fenders? Vented and have built in fender aero fin.

IMO, Todorki fenders are the ones .... If you can find a set...

These C West fenders aren't bad. https://www.evasivemotorsports.com/s...-s-subaru-brz/

...that also seems to vent from the fender for engine bay heat as wll. That looks like a great design:

These items are designed as a direct replacement for the factory fenders. Dual vent design allows for improved cooling efficiency of the engine bay and brake area.
