Default After market fender?

I searched and didn't find an answer.
What are the "vents" for? Looks?
I need new fenders for my lude and I like how some of the aftermarket ones look but I don't understand the point of the "vents".

But it looks pretty cool to have some lights behind them, with an input from the tach so that they brighten as you rev......

I can already feel the heat coming through the wires with the responses I'm gonna get. but it still looks cool

I would only consider carbon fiber fenders, as oem does weigh quite a bit.

Are you kidding? My average bowel movement weighs more then one of those fenders Anyway... I am actually kind of curious, I had my fenders off this weekend and while I would not be to concerned about the weight, some of the CF fenders I've seen do cost less then a pair of OEM's... $374 for a pair of CF fenders or $220 each for OEM from Majestic... And you don't necessarily have to paint them if they work with the theme/style of your car...

So does anyone have any experience with the fitment of any particular brand or supplier of CF fenders? I'm sure most if not all of them can be fitted well with a bit of creativity... But an endorsement from someone that actually has a pair (pref oem style) would be nice.
