Default cooling ducts

Has anyone fitted a set of naca ducts to the existing brake ducts then conneced tubing to the rotor with the L.Racing tube bracket. I am wondering if they make a naca duct which would but up against the existing duct, which could be pop rivited. I don't want to blow out a fog light.

You can get a duct, rectangular with a 3" outlet, that will actually fit beside the factory oil cooler and get about 85-90% of the air capacity, without making any drastic cutting or fitment issues.

www.pegasusautoracing.com go to brake section

photo is with a second factory cooler installed, inverted and the duct is beside the oil cooler, same setup on other side.

The picture shows the left side but the brake disc is from the right side.
So the aditional cooling doesn't help much with the wrong disc.

Thanks Ski. So did you delete the ducts in the grill? How did you attach the ducts and where. Also how did you attach a hanger for the tubing?

Marcus how can you tell the rotor is from the right side????? "The picture shows the left side but the brake disc is from the right side."

That was just a trail fit guys as we were making sure the Kinesis cleared the calipers.
