Yup, just a matter of how much time and $$$ someone wants to throw at it.



Some close ups from one of the SEMA threads.

awesome pics man!! I think this is the best proof on the internet that the vents can be made functional. I would like to see objective measurements regarding performance enhancement with these changes.

Come on, it's not even possible. The door vents are part of exterior garnish on the door. To get to the brakes, you'd have to cut holes in the door jamb, which is structural. Of all the fake vents, these are the most fake, with the least possibility of being realistically used. It should be obvious these ones have no chance at all.

I would love to see someone try this, it would be so entertaining.
Not according to post #62.

Lol you guys are impressed with those itty bitty Pep Boy vents. Almost as bad as the fake vents. Next thing Tada will tell you all is that he purposely created the wind buffeting for more downforce.

I do agree some of those vents are real small but at least they are functional. Here is the problem, Why spend 55k or more for fake shit period. I guess some people like fake stuff but i dont.

Whats thr door vent cooling? The tires? It might as well be closed....

The most functional vent that I can see is the front bumper side, but too bad OP did not take a pic where it's leading to on the inside...

Good effort but obviously falls flat....why oh why did they think fake vents on a sports car is good idea baffles me....

Seriously? They couldn't even produce a new vent pieces at the factory or spend a bit of money to showcase their "functional" vents?

Cuts look like an apprentice did the job and upon further inspection, even the netting was hastily put on, and the upper part of the vent is closed/blocked anyways- hold on, this is not going to the hood this is going to the front tires....‍♂Well, that's evident enough, it is doing Jack in there...‍♂♂

But in regard to the post about S58 and manual 2025 model, even if it's 100k.... If it's true- holy shit, can they take my money now?
