Just bought an RX7 recently and one of the side fender scoops is missing. The one on the driver side looks like this:













I don't think it's OEM but I may be mistaken (note the messh work). What is it from and any suggestions on picking up a passenger side one?



THANKS!

It's the stock vent with stock mesh. It's the vent for the oil coolers incase you didn't know....

I didn't know that! Thanks! Just bought the car and I have no idea about some of the body items. Some appear to be JDM and some don't. The steering wheel and the hood emblem are. I was told they were JDM fenders but wasn't sure.

Ya know, i've been thumbing through the FSM. I'm not sure that's the housing the oil cooler. It's probably the lack of point of reference in my photo. It's the scoop area behind the tire and before the door jam. The oil cooler should be up front, right? Correct me if i'm wrong.

air enters the front of the bumper thru the inlet, past the oil cooler, over the wheel well, and out the vent



think of it as a tunnel formed by the fender and fenderliner, starting with the oil cooler opening and ending with the vent
