its not just a hole cut in the fender. There is an indention or lip that folds inward all the way around and the fender vent sits in there. I recommend getting used trans am fenders. New fenders from Korea, or who knows where, usually don't fit as good as used fenders.

if you do figure out where and how big to cut the hole, use a flanger tool to make the lip for the vent to sit in.
