tell the body shop to spray a bedliner in the fenders to protect the inner fender!

 

i also really like this a lot! i might not just mold it in? we will see?

 

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the vents go to ducts that cool the brakes or even feed more air to the intake? At least there would be a performance slant to them as well..

Having air channel into a dead space behind the quarter will actually work against you as it will create drag and perhaps some interesting noise.

I can alway cut the inner fender some to give it some space for air to pass through and try to cool the back brakes , but it sounds easier then it is , but as for as helping with air intake , that would be a lot of work, plus there's no turbo back there to cool of, so I don't think there would be an advantage , and I personaly just like the look of them

 

i was think of cuting my inner fender also so it can cool down my sc! it would be nice!

 

that would be worth it, superchargers and turbos need all the air it can get!!! so i think in your case it would be worth it

 

put a few new pix at the top so you see it withought the black silicon

 

So does your intake... a "ram air" to the intake box would be kinda cool in my opinion, but a ***** to plumb. One thing to consider in cutting the inner fenders is structural integrity.

You have already weakened the rigidity in the quarter panels near the door frames, cutting too large of a hole in the inners would weaken that area more, and being mid-engine/rear wheel, that is where most torque stress is and weight stress on corners, etc.

the car is not a supercar, i dont drive it at 200+ miles , if i did then yeah i can see it haveing some affect

 

Hmm, I thought a Porsche was defined just as that... a supercar.

Do like the look tho, just giving some ideas from experience... take them, or it sounds more like, leave 'em.

no, i appreciate the advise, i just dont see it having a real problem, but only one way to find out...ill keep you guys updated when i get the car back, and ill let you know if it made a differnce

 

well, ill have to see it in person before i make a final pass....but ima say i dont like the side vents at all. again, just my .02 but will prob run into each other sooner or later.

btw - are you actually in Chicago or the burbs?

 

i live in the burbs, Bloomingdale

when my car is done we'll meet up at a show and you can look at it

 

Not really feelin' it, especially when it's not functional.

 

U have to see the finished product. , plus I reAlly put them on to maake the car look wider , and it looks alot wider when your standing in the front , it mAkes the reArs quarters stand out more
