Rear Fenders with Vents, in Back
Saw a white 930/911 widebody on Friday night outside a local pizza-joint (X&O) with interesting rear fenders.
The front of the fender had grills like a slantnose, but the rear had a large vertical vent cut into it.
I assume the idea is that air enters the grills, passes over the brakes and then exits the rear vent.
Anyone seen these before, have info on them?

Checked out the catalog. yes, it looks like they were '74 RSR Wide-body rears, + Slantnose grills on the intakes.
May not sound great but it was pretty cool looking for a quick drive by.
Thank you all for your kind assistance.
