Side Vents
Is it possible to replace the side vents/fenders in the 2018 GTS with the ones in the GTR?

No the hole is totally different size. if you want to replace the fenders thats a different story. But now you probably have to replace the bumper too because the fender is a little wider. And you have to replace the side skirts also.

It does indeed appear to be different. And that "indentation" in the side vent is, indeed, a hole.

Yep, and if you replaced the side skirts, I’m about 98.3% sure they wouldn’t fit with the rear quarter panel. You may be able to retrofit all of the stuff to a GT C since the rear track is the same, but I’m not sure it’s even possible on a GT/S.
