DIY: My Chargespeed Fender Vents.

There are 3 screws to remove to get to the stock vents

Need a flexible hand like mine

The stock vents are held by 6 clips. Just need to press them with your fingers from the inside

Circled in red are the clips

Here's how the fender looks like without the vents

Test Fit the Chargespeed Fender Vents first to get the position of the hole. Yes need to drill hole...2 holes to be precise

Mark the position of the holes with a pen or something sharp

Drill away. Make sure the drill bit is the correct size otherwise ...big trouble

Here's how the holes look like - circled in red

Put a little grease on the holes to prevent rust. Paint would be better.

Screw the Chargespeed Fender Vents on. Don't forget to put back the 3 screws taken off earlier in step 2

Taa Daa.... DIY Chargespeed Fender Vents install...

 

nice

 

tada! finally...

 

Does it help with downforce, or is it just cosmetic?

 

nice, but i like your wheels more haha

 

Thanks guys. Believe it's both cosmetic and helps a little with directing the airflow too. Since the stock vents were just a mesh design, this one has a directional air vent...

 

were did you get them from , link????

 

^^ Yeah, what he said

BTW, they look great!

Thanks... Looks like there's a distributor here in So Cal.

 

how much did they cost? i couldnt tell on the website...

 

the vents aren't functional because there is no opening from the engine bay to have the air flow through it.

i was looking at these a while back, they do look good, but in one of your pics it seems like the vent holes don't completely cover the metal across the vent hole.

 

look good. got some pics from further away? not sure on the shape. i got some from a vendor here than more mimic the stock look (i can't think of the name of the company) but w/ the mesh behind the openings -- look good but the fitment wasn't great.

 

Guys, Some new pics. I made some in Carbon fibre. It looks better than the FRP ones. Enjoy
