So far it looks really good and I'll be waiting for you to finally give up the details but these are fiberglass right, or are they carbon fiber? Our OEM fenders are already pretty lightweight aluminum right so should we expect and additional weight savings from these? (As long as their not heavier?)
More importantly though you said these will be functional right, with the purpose being to pull heat out of the engine bay? Do you need to make any modifications to the structure behind the fender to facilitate engine cooling, it looks pretty well sealed up back there?
I'm probably putting to much thought into this but could there be any issues with these cracking over time, due to temperature, or on the track or anything? Particularly on a convertible? Apparently they are supposed to still have a pretty stiff chassis but I'm sure they must flex more then the hardtop does
Thanks for clarifying, i was wrong, it wont be pulling hot air from the engine unless you play with the structure from inside which i would never do on a normal car unless its gonna be used as track car ONLY,

actually the front fender vent behind the wheel is to eliminate front wheel aero drag, since air off the wheels tend to go forward as its spinning, disrupting the airflow and blocking the air behind the wheel, so it will give a better flow and with the air flow some of the hot air from the brakes will go out as well.

i am not an aerodynamics expert but i did lil research and that was the outcome

will be anouncing how these are going to be structured very soon.

Thanks.
