No thats a custom vent, it says it in the article. Also the vent is only on the drivers side of the car and its only their to bring air to the STS turbo.

good luck replacing those rear fenders with anything short of a saw, several hours and 12 pack of beer and then reinstalling the new ones with a welder.

people say rice when they see something unique or different. If it hasnt been done 1000 times already its considered rice here. That vent is very functional and since when is wanting your car to perfom good considered rice? "im all american thats why i want my turbos to overheat, cause i dont want rice!!!!"

theres places that sell vents in many shapes and sizes like spoilers.com which is actually erebuni, or you can find a car with really nice vents that you like and purchase them from recyclers. i live right by rscr.com and they are great! they have everything there including ferarris and lamborghinis in fact i deal with the ferarri people on a daily basis and they are great. i cant see the vent in th pic very well or i could make a suggestion but you know what ive seen people do? take a hood louver off a 93-97 firebird and put it on the side to make an air scoop and keep it in the family. Do you have a better pic? i can hardly see it. Maybe he was scared of how it looked so he painted his car black lol

They grafted scoops from a Porsche 911 turbo onto the panels. And yes, they were functional... but I'm still not feeling them.

it would be cool to make a set towards the bottom and have them feed air to the rear calipers
