Unless you provide some inserts to on in those opening, I wouldn't add them. Personally, it would make the car looks ricey.

But I do admit I like wider fender that have a sleek look, it needs to flow with the body lines.

USAFS197 01-23-2019 07:43 PM

Some sort of vented fender similar in design to the C7Z would sell like hot cakes, I’m sure. But Camaro_QC is right, this has to flow well and on top of that, come with all of the necessary pieces to work properly. Will you guys be providing a new fender liner or will this simply be a bulkier fender utilizing the same lining?

Camaro_QC 01-23-2019 08:27 PM

I totally forgot about the liner. USAFS197 is spot on, the space needs to be filled with something to make it look OEM

I personally think some vents like the fenders on the 2019 GT3 RS would look pretty cool on the 6th gen if done right

DarkFangz1100 01-24-2019 09:17 AM

Do you have any renders for a 6th gen? Is it going to bolt up to a stock bumper what modifications are going to be needed...etc

Chris V 01-24-2019 09:31 AM

I'm definitely interested - I run 11" front wheels and more coverage would be great.

I'd also love the venting for aero purposes, so important to me would be that the venting be functional.

I would like for it to work with the factory fender liner if possible, understanding that the factory liner won't go all the way to the end of the fender. The fender liner is felt, so it's flexible enough to straighten out and attach at a different angle. I'd be happy to cut the fender liner where needed to match the venting.

Shawnqa800720 01-24-2019 02:05 PM

I would love wider as well. Ventilation is acceptable if it's not too gaudy - subtle and functional would be good.

Can you give an estimated weight savings over stock as well? I wouldn't but it just for the wider stance or carbon aspects alone if it wasn't saving significant weight. I'd love to get a full front end in carbon to take off some weight in the front (hood/fenders), but really prefer a mostly stock SS hood - I haven't found a single stock look SS carbon hood.

Thanks for taking the time to check in.

It would be sweet to be able to run the 305 rear tire all the way around.......
