The fender vents sitting in the middle of all that are still painted plastic. These are Feral Auto's OEM+ carbon replacements for them, sold as a matched pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from \u003cstrong\u003eautoclaved 2x2 pre-preg dry carbon fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e, they are direct OEM replacements for the factory panels: same openings, same mounting points, same hardware. Finished with a polished automotive-grade clear coat with UV inhibitors that holds up to sun, road debris, and whatever the front tires throw at fender height. One part number covers both the Raptor and the Raptor R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/2021-2027-ford-f-150-raptor-carbon-fiber-hood-vent-trim\"\u003eRaptor Hood Vent \u0026amp; Trim\u003c\/a\u003e, or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/2023-2027-ford-f-150-raptor-r-carbon-fiber-hood-vent-trim\"\u003eRaptor R Hood Vent \u0026amp; Trim\u003c\/a\u003e if you're running the R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Autoclave Pre-Preg Dry Carbon Fiber\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-preg carbon arrives with the resin already impregnated into the weave at a controlled ratio, so no resin is added by hand during layup — that is what makes it dry carbon. Curing it under heat and pressure in an autoclave consolidates the laminate and drives out trapped air that would otherwise show as flaws in the finished surface. Wet layup and vacuum infusion add resin at the mold, and the result varies with whoever laid it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFender height on a Raptor is the hardest place on the truck to put a panel. It sits directly in the spray off a 35-inch tire, taking grit, salt and standing water from below at speed. Moisture working into a laminate with trapped air in it is how a carbon part starts lifting at the edges — a consolidated pre-preg panel under a UV-inhibited clear coat does not give it the opening. Both vents are finished and packaged together so the pair matches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Carbon Finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGloss (Standard)\u003c\/strong\u003e — our standard high-gloss 2x2 twill weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e — same weave, low-sheen matte finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e — red-tinted carbon weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e — blue-tinted carbon weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForged Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e — marbled, high-strength forged carbon pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: Matte, Red, Blue, and Forged Carbon finishes are non-refundable once production has started.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are direct replacements, not modifications. The vents fit the factory fender vent openings on your existing hardware — nothing to drill, nothing to cut, nothing permanent. No additional hardware is included, and none is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend professional installation. Minor adjustments during fitment are a normal part of installing any carbon fiber body component and are not an indication of a defect. Carbon fiber parts are finished by hand, so slight variations in weave alignment and clear coat between individual pieces are normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCurrent Lead Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent estimated lead time is approximately \u003cstrong\u003e65-75 business days\u003c\/strong\u003e from order to ship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFord F-150 Raptor \u0026amp; Raptor R Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021-2027 Ford F-150 Raptor\u003cbr\u003e2023-2027 Ford F-150 Raptor R\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feral Auto","offers":[{"title":"Standard Gloss","offer_id":49277915988212,"sku":"FRL-RPTRFV","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Carbon (+$75)","offer_id":49277916020980,"sku":"FRL-RPTRFV-MTE","price":1074.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Carbon (+$150)","offer_id":49277916086516,"sku":"FRL-RPTRFV-RED","price":1149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Carbon (+$150)","offer_id":49277916119284,"sku":"FRL-RPTRFV-BLU","price":1149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Forged Carbon (+$250)","offer_id":49277916053748,"sku":"FRL-RPTRFV-FRG","price":1249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/6550\/6036\/files\/FENDERVENT.jpg?v=1789178725","url":"https:\/\/feralauto.com\/products\/2021-2027-ford-f-150-raptor-carbon-fiber-fender-vents","provider":"Feral Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
