    Question Vented Fender : Rice or cool ?

    I really can't make up my mind on this mod.. Usually I have no problem deciding if I go for it or not but not this time.

    I always liked car with vented fender.. like the GTR or the the C63 AMG hence why I would like to go vented.

    But on a BNR32.. first I'm scared it will look not flush because most fender are GTS but since they are overfended they fit like BNR32 but you need to change corner lens but that's something I can handle. However, I'm scared the overall-result won't like as sleek as an OEM bodykit.

    Another thing I dislike is that I rather have Aluminium fender than fiberglass ( detailing-wise)

    Please help me decide!

    Could look good, but having the body lines matching up perfect is KEY for a clean look!

    I think it'd look slick if you had an aggressive stance, with rolled fenders in the rear as well to make up for the wide look of vented fenders. They don't look THAT wide but maybe a little chubby from the front if you know what I mean.

    OEM vented fender always seem to have a good finish inside the vent itself. A/M vented fender always look like you can see the fiberglass under. That what bother me a little.

    BNR corners look 2million times better than HCR variants anyways.

    OEM > vented.

    as much as I like vented fenders, stick with OEM fenders if you don't have a massive drift bodykit.
