Front brake cooling duct through fog light holes?
Has anyone rigged up some brake cooling ducts through the fog light holes? I removed the fog lights from my car to save some weight but figured it would be a great place to rig up something that can direct some air flow to my front brake rotors to cool them down for track use. Has anyone out there fabricated something like this? Please post pictures and instructions on what you did. Thanks.

what kind of car? i installed 3" brake ducts on my n/a spoiler. had to cut out a lot of the foglight bucket. pics here: (don't pay attention to the bug crap on the front). the passenger side has not yet been cut out, but it shows the external oil cooler.

The car I bought a few months back has some nice custom fiber ones, I'm going to pull them off and see if I can duplicate them for my brothers car and maybe if there is enough interest and they aren't too horribly hard to make I'll make a few extra sets.

I built my own out of heater hose from home depot and just cut round hole in fog light hole
I have removed the inner dust shields since the pic.
Here is the front.
On the pass side I put in a turbo oil cooler in that spot so I put in simple turning plate.

My 924S does not have spoiler mounted fog lights so I plan on running mine through the front bumper turn signal slots. I need to find a duct with two air slots, on both sides I will run one line to the brakes, on the drivers side the other will go to the air intake system and on the passenger it will go to the oil cooler (man that's a long sentence!).

Tim,
my brake ducts came courtesy of a turbo bumper cover from a NASA racer that i bought and then sold. just took off the ducts. they accomodate 3" hose.
it might be less circuitous to fashion a scoop underneath the airdam to scoop air from under the car and route it to the brakes and cooler/intake
