Hey that blue thing is mine!

I’m working on the driver side tonight and providing some info to FE on the template and some measurements. My end goal is to do a write up next week once I’m happy with the fitment (not seeing any part issues, it’s just a bit of a bear to make things my version of perfect.) if you guys would find it helpful. I’ve spent about 30 hours on the various things with this firs tset. Roughly half of that is just measurements and info for FE but I would gues this will be about a 20-40 hour ordeal for most depending on how carefully you want to cut it but I am doing this with the fenders on the car as I still drive it daily.

I certainly appreciate the time and effort you have put into this.

So small update, at the request of a friend on here I put a few of my passenger side progress pictures in a public album on my profile. Check them out if you want an idea of what you’ll go through.

I plan to put together a DIY next week highlighting the following:

-Basic install with things I personally ran into.
-My version of cutting the fender liner with optional adding mesh to protect the vent from debris
-tools I used
-many photos to document the whole thing.

I don’t really plan to go down to the nut and bolt level as this isn’t something simple so I’ll make an assumption that a basic understand of finding clips and bolts is a skill the reader will have. Anyone want to see anything else?

Works for me.

I’m assuming it’s to late to order a set?

I don't think so. But I don't think you would get the same pricing. Get in contact with them to make sure.

That blue GT3RS....I meant Z....looks super duper awesome!

I am not doubting the functionality of these - i'm sure they work

however

from an aesthetic standpoint, the large black "frame" that actually surround the vents and mount to the fender are kinda too much for me

Is there room to mount these on the BACK of the fender?

again - purely for the appearance
