Hey guys. Wondering if anyone has leads on purchasing the WRC style hood vents? That’s definitely the style I have my heart set on, but seems like the only manufacturer I could find is Airtec, which doesn’t seem to be sold in North America.
I found them for £150 but with conversion and shipping we’re looking at $350cad ($575cad if you want the mesh inside) for some plastic hood vents, that seems ridiculous. Im not a snob so I don’t care about having replica parts, so has anyone seen them cheaper on another site? All the classic eBays and stuff don’t come up with anything.
Ya, I've gone thru the same exercise and unfortunately, only Airtec is producing this style vent for our car. I ended up picking function and practicality in the end and ended up going with the Verus.

I’d gladly buy some knockoff abs plastic versions. The price of £275 for those with mesh is unacceptable. I’ve had that tab open on my phone for 2 years. Just can’t pull the trigger on it
From what I've read, its a huge PITA to install. The area of the hood that it goes on has more structural sheet metal in that area and requires more cutting compared to the regular vents (which only cuts 1 layer). On top of that, there isn't an easy and clear way to mount, so it will require body adhesive (which made the practicality of the the Verus a no-brainer for me). I believe it came with pretty minimal instructions as well.
But I agree, looks-wise, its pretty killer. I think in the actual RSRX car, they are outlets for ducting coming off radiator?
still not found any chinese knockoffs which is frustrating. but it seems earlier in this thread i quoted $249gbp, but i see now theyre $149gbp. very tempted to order a set now.

right now alibaba/aliexpress is pretty shut down for north america. i ordered a carbon fibre ST wing (to go with my carbon trunk/battle areo wing) but they made me cancel the order as air freight is pretty much locked down

Anyone know if that will look okay on a 2017 Focus RS it has the 19" forged rims the tires are either 225 or 235 I can remember but I'll double check. I found a good deal on them but he had them on an older ST.
