Wide front fenders that look like stock?
Is there a company out there who makes wide front fenders that do not have vents cut in to them? I just want a wider stock looking fender.
Is there some Aerodynamic reason for having the vents or is it just for looks. Personally it looks too Hot Import Nights to me (flame suit on). I know every time attack car has them, it doesn’t change my opinion though.

You could just fiberglass the vents shut if you want, but if course you might create more turbulence and drag inside the fender that way.
You might like it better or worse, but another option is to use a stock fender or stock-looking fender (good luck finding those, the vents ARE functional, I've never seen them without them), and push the bottom part that meets the door and side skirt out by using a bracket. This creates a gap between the door and fender, but also allows the air to escape the fender. Even though many cars like the Cyber Evo already have wide fender with vents, they also do this in addition, so it probably works at least as well as the vent. Or if you look at the HKs time attack Evos, they have forgone the little fender vent altogether in favor of only a large primary vent out the back edge where the fender meets the door.
