I've had a set of the fender vents for about 15 years but have never installed them. Mostly because I really don't want to cut the fender.
Being in the Houston area the summertime outside air temps can get very hot. My cooling system is 100% good to go and new. I haven't had any cooling issues yet, but I just want to be prepared for the worst.
My question is,
Do these vents actually work? What percentage of additional cooling do they provide? Enough additional cooling to justify cutting the fender?
Thanks, Scott.
