SBaru in partnership with AutoAero
Custom product design and fabrication, led by Jim Grant.
We’re proud to have teamed up with AutoAero, a specialist in custom product design and fabrication, led by industry professional Jim Grant. With over 30 years of manufacturing and production experience, Jim has worked with some of the biggest names in motorsport and performance automotive design, including HSV, Prodrive and TransAm. His background in body design, aerodynamics, structural fabrication, OEM+ components and motorsport-specific products means we can offer cutting-edge modifications and race-ready solutions for your vehicle.
Jim’s expertise lets us deliver high-quality, performance-enhancing products tailored to your needs, whether you’re after aerodynamic know-how or auxiliary enhancements that take your vehicle to the next level. SBaru Parts & Performance isn’t just offering services, repairs and modifications. We’re providing performance products and design innovations you can trust on both the street and the track.
Performance louvers
We’ve developed a selection of louvers for the GC/GF and GD/GG WRX/STI platform. Fit them to the bonnet wherever you like, or use them to replace the intercooler scoop if you run a front-mount intercooler. Fender louver options are available too.
These parts aren’t just cosmetic. They’re functional, with testing done on our endurance racing GF8 Buccy. Contact the shop for more details.
Louver technical guide
- Lift reduction
- Bonnet and fender louvers reduce pressure build-up under the car, lowering lift and improving stability. Bonnet louvers release engine bay pressure, while fender louvers manage wheel arch pressure.
- Downforce enhancement
- By managing airflow, both sets help improve downforce. Bonnet louvers smooth airflow over the body, while fender louvers reduce turbulence, helping the car keep tyre grip in high-speed cornering.
- Laminar flow
- Louvers on the bonnet and fenders keep airflow smooth, preventing separation and maintaining laminar flow, which reduces drag and improves stability.
- Fewer tyre-induced vortices
- Fender louvers reduce vortices caused by rotating tyres, and bonnet louvers help minimise vortex formation over the upper body, for a more efficient aerodynamic profile.
- Cooling
- Both sets expel hot air from critical areas (engine bay, wheel arches and brakes), helping prevent overheating of cooling systems and intake, and keeping component temperatures consistent.
Together, bonnet and fender louvers improve the car’s aerodynamic stability, downforce and thermal efficiency for the track.
