Carbon Fiber Fender Vents

Just made them. The air from the fans will blow out a BIC from about 8 inches. You can really feel the hot air escaping.

So what do you think?

Good that it is functional, I don't like wet carbon so it would look a lot better to me if it was painted black like the rest of the car.

+1 I agree would look OEM and much better.

I like that these are functional indeed. Heat soak is a problem and this certainly should help a fair bit I'd think!

Please let us know if this helps while tracking...I am sure it will, even if its not a low-pressure area (I don't know whether the fender vent location is or not)

Looks good, but I don't feel like cutting the inside like that.
