Installed Brake Cooling Ducts
Added rear cooling brake ducts and replaced the front ones with GT3's this weekend. They were super easy and just snap around the control arm. I have a pic of the rear before and after (but not snapped in place) - as well as the fronts. The GT3's are a bit more aggressive than stock.

I was just looking at those. Do they help? Blow more dust off?

These can be dealer sourced. The stock ones actually hang on the same arm but extend much lower and appear flatter. Stock also have a less agressive curve to them.
I think people who track their cars actually scrape stock ones one the ground during hard cornering. Thus, the reason for the slimmer GT3 and Turbo applications.

After driving in the rain I can see how air is pushed out through the rim but not sure in dry conditions if it helps keep them any cleaner.
I think I picked them up from Suncoast & Ebay.
From looking at both stock and upgrade it is obvious to see the upgrade will move more air towards the brakes.

You're going to want to crawl back under there, drill a few holes in your new ducts and zip tie them more securely to the a-arms. They can snag on some speed bumps and steep inclines taken at an angle. If I knew you were going to install these, I would have told you sooner so that you only had to install them once.
Been there, done that on 3 cars myself.
