Default Brake ducts for Turbo/S2

Does anyone offer brake ducts to replace the driving/fog lights on the Turbo/S2. I know Lindsey offers brake cooling plates that mount to the brake mounts and I know where to find 3" brake duct hose. Just missing that final piece. I checked BSR and Racer Wholesale parts with no luck. I've found them for the 993 just can't find it for the Turbo/S2.

TIA

Mine came from OG Racing, but they are no longer making them. They made the whole kit, complete with hoses and fiberglass backing plates.

I have been told AIR (www.americaninternationalracing.com) is now selling the same ones for around $150 (does not include the hose and backing plates). I don't think they are on their site, you'll need to call or email them.

I like your avitar. That's just what I'm looking for. I'll call AIR when they wake up out there. Thanks!

do a search for my brake ducts, they are from AIR and did cost around $150 for the pair. They were not on the website when I ordered them. (pretty much what Tifo said...)

X3 For AIR
Check my avatar. Brought the bumper to a body shop and they fit it for me after I cut the initial hole. Works great!

The hole at the back of it is about 2.5" in diameter. Most backing plates on the rotor are 3" so you have to squeeze the hose on tightly. Also the OG site says to get 36" of hose but you better get closer to 48" per sides otherwise it will rub (especially on 245's).

I have brake cooling ducts on my 944S2, but still have my foglights in place. If you are looking for that type of solution, let me know, and I'll give you more details...

$150 and you still have to fit them? Bah! For that kind of money, you shouldn't have to jerk around with fitment. My one phone call to AIR left me less than impressed, to say the least. They will never see a penny of my money.

Mine cost $15, paint them to match if you wish, and they function perfectly:

Someone on here made some "homemade" ones that turned out pretty good IIRC....
