IMHO...Looks like 'chit.'
What's the point of it?

one of the leading creator of drag on a vehicle is the wheels and the air turbulence it causes.
as the wheel rotates forward, it brings the air with it, rotating it up and forward, disrupting the natural airflow underneath the car and on the sides of the car.
you have the large sweeping cut aways directly behind the wheel such that the air can escape to the sides before it can interrupt flow.
sorta like why i designed my fenders vents that way i did, just not that extreme.
yes you get rock chips, at the expense of smoother airflow underneath the car, and at times, that is where it counts if downstream, like say your rear diffuser is integrated... you want as smooth and fast air underneath the car to create your venturi effect of sucking the car down to the road surface.
other notable examples:
Evasive FRS
JGTC Z33
TRD Supra

Thanks for the explanation. :tup:
I don't think it would look good on a DD, but a road course race car - YES.

Bmccann101 bought some fenders like that for the Z awhile back. I'm pretty sure he purchased them off ebay. Here's a link to a post he made about them.https://my350z.com/forum/media-share...p-guys-33.html
