Honeycomb Open Front Vents

[stormgreysupra]

We are excited to announce the release of our brand new supra honeycomb mesh design open front vents.

We updated the edges compared to the previous design so that the paint behind the vents are covered for a cleaner look.

Looks good on red too ?

Do you have any further back pictures that show the entire bumper?

I’d be concerned about the amount of bugs, rocks and road debris that ends up hidden behind those plastic shields. I guess it won’t matter to those who don’t plan on keeping their Supra for long.

I am assuming just replacing those won't do anything for the car.. (?). More work needed inside wheel well to make them actually functional (?)

So they are just another cosmetic piece if just swapping those with the factory ones.. (?)

Do they just pull out?

So many questions..

Correct, it’s just a cosmetic piece if you install these as is. In order to make them actually functional it would need some type of ducting behind to route the air to the brakes or to the wheel.

The factory vent can be removed with a trim remover tool and then these just pop in place.

these will hurt aerodynamic performance vs anything else. i'm going the opposite direction to flatten out this part of the body work.

Starting to like the new honeycomb mesh design more than the oem mesh design.

I'm just curious, if you don't mind me asking: for things like this, are they printed, or do you create a die and have them made via injection molding? Or something else?

I always wonder what it takes to design, prototype and make something like this, as far as the investment in time and materials is concerned. I'm not a future competitor, just curious.

All of our products are with injection molding. It gives the best results in terms of quality, finish, and fitment but it takes a long time to get the mold done and also very costly.

honestly the only way to make clip in parts that survives the first install/removal, without warping issues in the heat

how much shallower are your new inserts? the guy that made my canards said he went through something like 8 different iterations because the divot there kept skyrocketing the drag on the canards

it's basically flush with the bumper, fully closed off the dip
