Replacements for cheap plastic "vents"

[Edbert]

I know of one company that makes a real CF unit that replaces the plastic hood vent. It is not inexpensive and doesn't look good enough in my opinion to swap. I have not seen aftermarket units for the fender-vents.

Does anyone make aftermarket replacements? The ability of either to do much "extraction" is limited by the tiny openings, but at least they are not 100% cosmetic, kudos to Ford for making them real. My desire is for more functionality, an improved appearance is secondary.

I ask because I had to restrain myself from taking a Dremel to them during my day off yesterday

the vents wont do a damn thing unless you duct them.

If you duct them, it'll make for a pretty comical "sand pouring out of my fender vents" moment when offroad.

With tires and fenderwells this big, computation fluid dynamics tells me that it aint worth "opening them up"

That being said, Icon composites makes fender and hood vents in CF.

I have the hood vent and it is solid quality. It is on par with the other CF that I have on the truck.

Good stuff and reasonably priced! Are there any future plans to make the fender flares a +2"??

Interesting that you will have Front Fender vents soon. Does that mean you will be working on a Front grill at some point?
