Default Fender vents.
Anyone know how or where these come from?

Just an FYI, I don't think he (R Theory) is around anymore, though I might be wrong.

I'm hoping to work up a set of my own over the holiday break the next couple months now that the owner of R-theory is on an indefinite leave (I believe he took a new full-time job that requires more travel is the story I heard). Design and location of the vents I'm thinking of would be similar. Aesthetically, I'd try to get them to match the lower fender vents I've already designed.

I'm definitely on board for these vents. Big decal and all.

I figured I'd post the link since they're buried in his build thread. I haven't got around to installing mine yet...

Beavis on here and Beavis Motorsport on YouTube has done exactly this. Check his videos for more information about fitting it securely.

Yep, they are Beavis and I got them from thingiverse. The only thing I did was print them standing straight up instead of on their side, I used a raft and had no issues with the part falling over and way less supports
