So i just read a lot on here, but i was going thru my old drift tengoku magazine from like 2004. And i realized that GP Sports does make non vented fenders for everbody crying out there for them. Its still on their web site but probably a grip to buy and no one will buy. but just a heads up.

they are still vented obviously as you can see the little whole. The reason for that is that there would be a high air pressure build up, think parachute... the air has to escape somewhere, so being vented is not necessarily a bad thing. Usually serious race cars have vents on top of the wide fender to escape... AND/or something like the fenders you posted, holes on the back end.
Those look neat btw. Any more shots?

well obviously but on the outside of the fender like Dmax or Origins. It looks stock. But no, no other pictures.

D-Max has the 25mm (non-vented) fenders that look nearly stock from what I have seen.
Although I do like them I will be cheaping out and getting a vented set. I don't see either set lasting very long in my hands anyways. LoL

Those GP Sport are NOT non-vented fenders.

FYI---K-Style made non vented wide fender long before 240 became the new civic.
Vanquish makes non vented STOCK fenders if you want to look for some.
People please don't forget it's japan retail + exchange fee + internal japan shipping + shipping from japan + shipping to you + markup = more then most 240 owners willing to pay.
The smart thing to do is to buy vented fenders here and just pay a bodyshop to convert it(it's fiberglass easy to work with).
Here's an example:

AIT 30mm S14 kouki fender converted by local bodyshop for $50 extra(wholesale price) but I'm sure you guys can find some hookup and maybe free.
Good luck,
Sam

K-Style... Yes, that was it. I think they went out of business or something. Their website doesn't work anymore.

Ok, so my fault. Thanks for all the info. I should have put almost non vented. That K-Style one looks sick. Yea and a body shop can do it or diy. But i still think Origin or VS should make them or give it a try in a group buy. That would be rad.

So converting to non-vented made them fit like shit too?
Or is that how theyre supposed to be?
