***CURRENTLY A WORK IN PROGRESS***
Although there are multiple options on the market for A90 Supra fenders, most dont follow best practices or serve more as a cosmetic part rather than a functional part. Additionally, most of the fenders are carbon or fiberglass which ends up driving up price, increasing fragility, worsening fitment, and in certain instances may even be heavier than the OEM fenders. In addition, the fenders on the market dont reach into the wheel well enough nor do they offer a smooth, radiused exit for the high-pressure air to escape in a more linear manner (as linear as air can get in such a messy spot like a wheel well).
This design hopes to solve all of these issues by utilizing the OEM fender as a base and inserting two vents. The vents are designed to provide a smooth exit while protruding as far inward into the body as possible.
The next step in the design phase is how to replace the lower bracket that connects the fender to the chassis with something that will not interfere with airflow while still retaining the rigidity required.
