Anyone try out these vents for their front bumper?

They look identical to these ones even have the same non-functional bottom and top sections in the mesh.
Some installed pictures are on page 2.

And also notice in the post above how much plastic is still behind those vents as a consideration.

+ you would need to trim your fender liner if you wanted the air to go anywhere

Even then you'll need an impossible duct work to direct the air towards the brakes because right behind that opening is the tire
You definitely need a molded part to even have a hose connect to the brake...

They may look okay on a dark colored Supra but not a light colored Supra … for you can still see the outer edge of the cars paint once installed.

There's already a brake-facing duct in the bumper. this tiny vent would be more to relieve pressure in the wheel well, but you'd need something at the rear of the tire (fender) as well.

Or just plumb them into the existing auxiliary cooler shrouds for a negligible gain in cooling and a negligible decrease in drag. Because racecar

Replace your fake vents with real vents that still do nothing!

Right, I've always been "curious" about this. There's nothing back there.

And for only $200!! ?...if someone could send me the stml file for those I can easily make those with my 3D dental printer for cost of material which would be about $2

or you can just trim the back of the existing part with a sander or whatever

It looks like trash tbh. Which is sad because I was looking forward to these. Just doesn’t really work with this solution. Is it possible for a compete bumper replacement with the vents functional? Maybe a shop can work on that

Why not just paint that area black before installing them. Problem solved.

Exactly what I think every time someone mentions that. paint it satin black and you'd never know. I'm surprised someone hasn't made the vents and used some satin/flat black vinyl that would cover just that lip up. Take care of that issue, but id just paint it black. once they drop in price ill buy them but 200 isnt worth it to me lol
