so is the allegation that the vents are fake ? Clearly they are not, you can see the tire through the mesh. Now I do see a portion blocked off in the lightened picture...obviously an aerodynamic design decision.

By the pictures (and those are GREAT pictures of the issue) Porsche has decided to close off part of the opening, probably due to the issues trying to use such a large opening on the street and it's effect on car's body surfaces. Notice the opening is stepped to be grater in the front and tappers to the back, so they obviulsy recognize a need for a larger opening then tapering to the "tail" down the back side of the fender. It also apperas in the pictures that the mesh screen continues under the black "opening grill." There also appeaqrs to be a screw holding the "opening grill" in place. Appears that a simple move to remove the screw and then remove the "opening grill" leaving the mesh screen in place. That I am assuming is for more aggressive air escape from the wheel well desired for track use. That all makes sence to me.

There wasn't an allegation that they are completely fake. No one said that. What I originally asked was about the comment AP said in the short EVO video, and it has led to this thread. If part of the vent is blocked, and can't be uncovered, then I guess one could say part of them are "bigger than necessary" "big to look like motorsports", etc, etc
