Has anyone installed the Airdesign cut in fender vents?

I have a 2019 Limited and have installed the Airdesign hood scoop, super bolt flares and the lower door rocker covers and I was thinking of trying the fender vents but you have to cut the fender to install...any thoughts?

Sounds permanent.

It definitely is that which is what scares me..looks great but probably not a good idea huh?

If it makes you happy, I say go for it. I’ve done a lot of crazy changes to vehicles over the years, so I’ll be the last person to say don’t mod a vehicle.

Lol yeah I'm into the vent look I just have to get my nerve up to put a cut out tool to a nicely painted truck..we'll see

Measure twice, cut once. Go for it.

Is this entirely cosmetic, i.e. just for looks, or does it have some practical purpose? Venting hot air from under-hood, aerodynamics?

It would vent the air above your wheel well liner. Other than that, it would make your Ram look more like a 2021+ F150.

It opens up air flow inside the engine compartment and reduced hood flutter..definitely functional and look great..for me its measure 10 time cut once..I'll say a hail mary before I start

There are a few holes between the engine compartment and fender wells for wire bundles to pass through. Certainly not enough to create additional airflow. Hood flutter? Where did you get that?

Interesting that it reduces hood flutter. I’ve had the hood stops adjusted once by dealer even though I told them they have to adjust the latch - it’s helped a little bit, but not when I’m doing my monthly driving through KS/OK where the speed limit is 75/80mph in some areas. I have the Air Design tailgate protector/spoiler & like the idea of the fender vents, but since I don’t necessarily need the additional cooling I might still just opt for some gloss black hood pins. Still undecided. I wonder if the review poster had the sport hood also - probably not if he has a Big Horn which I’m sure he an affect on wind uplift. Post some interim install pics if you don’t mind!

OMG, they improve fuel economy too! Sorry, but that's a load of .

 

[Big Gunz]

If I get the nerve up I will definitely post pics of the install..but I haven't pulled the trigger on buying them yet

 

[Big Gunz]

That's one nice looking ram bpebler! If you do the gloss black hood pins that would look pretty awesome..I'm still nervous of cutting or drilling

Thanks! I am too & really don’t want to cut or drill, but either option would require it obviously.

I think on it for a while but I'll definitely let you know

Followed by flames on the doors? Or are those out of style?
