Maybe with the GRMN Supra? Didn't the bestcar render showed something similar? :dunno:

Does anyone know if those fenders come with a set of fender liners with openings, or do you have to cut into your existing fender liners to make them functional?

I think it just comes with the fenders and nothing else.

Reminds me of this one on the photoshop thread.
Its my understanding the holes on the inside of the hood serve as functional vents when the "fog lights" vents are opened and the hood vents are opened. Just fyi.

How? Under the hood, there isn't any opening. Jackie talks about in his video.

The holes on the underside of the hood connect to the exterior hood vents.
These tiny quarter and dime size holes? :rofl: Sorry, that isn't going to vent anything even with the bumper vent opened up. Even if you do open it up, the fender liner is blocking. If you remove that, air will have to somehow find it's way though those little holes, travel forward and then out of the vent since they are aft of the hood vent. To make it functional, there has to be come cutting , fab work involved or aftermarket. From a factory standpoint, they are useless.
