Brake Cooling Ducts

I have a pair of AIR cooling ducts installed. I used the foglight housing for mounting and fabricated spacers for the duct. The hoses run over the tops of my oil coolers. I'm planning to rebuild these ducts and make a few modifications. I would like to fasten the duct with concealed fasteners so you don't see the screw head as you do now and also make new spacers so the duct fits deeper into the bumper.

Oh yea, I've been running this setup the past 3 years. Duct hose is 3" high temp silicone from Pegasus. I don't have any pics with the hose but here is another pic. The high temp hose connects to the blue hose sitting on top of the oil cooler duct. I'll try and get a pic of the hoses in the next week or two when I put my car up.

thanks guys, my oil cooler is offset from the center of the car to the passenger side...so foglight ducts is the route which I will be going. I was thinking of the AIR ducts, but wanted to see what else was out there aside from fabricating some crazy setup

Yeah, I actually have been searching for some of these since I broke one of my fog lights.
Really wanna get my hands on a pair but I've no idea who sells them.

AIR or American International Racing makes them, they have to be ordered over the phone. Or there is a whole kit that you can get from paragon products, but they wont have the ducts like AIR makes or close to what Olli made himself. They are more like bucket scoops for the paragon product ones...so Either I do the paragon product ones and put black wire mesh over them or I go with AIR and do my own setup.
Still not sure how the AIR is attached, but I imagine that is just up to the purchaser as to how to do that.

Just looked up both products. I think I might get the AIR ducts and then use the paragon hose and brake backing plate to route the air to the brakes. Seems like a pretty nice setup combined. Not a big fan of the paragon ducts being zip tied to the bumper.
