Rear functional vents

[ryanmk5]

Is this a possibility I’ve seen everyone focus on the front vents and not the rear, when the rear seems like it could be made functional very easily

All the vents in this car are completely non functional - unless maybe you start cutting into the body work. When I first got my car I considered "fixing" them all but quickly realized it was largely a fool's errand.

Juice not worth the squeeze

hey ... it may not make them "functional" but they do look much better "unblanked" ... especially the front fender (uk-bumper) and hood (uk-bonnet) ones.

Also makes like easier when cleaning it as no surprise water traps...

Opening all of the fake vents would legit make you slower

 

[stormgreysupra]

They are closed off in the rear.

I have blanked off the cup holder holes ... so that should make it faster

"" Tada, the engineering boss for the new Supra, explains what happens when you remove the blocking plates from the scoops in the Supra's hood, fenders, and doors.

The 2020 Toyota Supra's bodywork is shot through with air scoops—in the front and rear bumpers, in the hood, even in the doors. On the production model of the car, almost all of these slashes and vents are blocked off with black plastic. But in a conversation with Tetsuya Tada, the chief engineer for the new A90-generation Supra, we learned that there's a way to make these decoy vents and scoops functional.

Speaking through a translator, Tada explained how Toyota built a Supra race car midway through the development of the production model, the first time the automaker had tried such a strategy. Feedback from the race car influenced the eventual design of the street-legal model, including those myriad vents and scoops.

"If you look at the vehicle today, there's holes all over the body," Tada said. "They're just capped on the production car. Those are for the racing model. When the customer goes and converts it to a racing car, or adds those necessary components, those caps come off very easily. So, it's already pre-made, ready to accommodate."

As Tada explained, there's a little more to it than just pulling the block-off plates. Racers and modifiers will have to decide which scoops to use for what purpose, adding ducting as needed for cooling or aerodynamic functions. "The holes are there to be used," he said. "It depends on what category you're racing in. It also really depends on how the customer intends to use the race vehicle." "

That's all marketing horse shit.

How dare they

 

[Soliduz]

they look very closed on the GR SUPRA GT4 lol

 

[Soliduz]

harder to tell for the rear vents but I'm going with closed as well for 500.

 

[Islindur]

Best option for rear is probably full INGS bumper replacement to have any actuall benefit.

 

[Gargle my Gabagool]

Only problem is how hideous that bumper looks. Think I'd rather have my OEM closed off one
