MAShaw cooling ducts/fog lights installation guide.
MAShaw brake ducts/fog lights like "993 Turbo S" brake ducts. Come primed in gray fibreglass with 38 watt bulbs and a light socket (that can't be aimed. Edit: actually, they can be aimed. See here). Are only for oil cooler and a/c condenser ventilation - and for looks - as there are no ducts back to the brakes.

I made a template from cardboard to be able to get ducts fit in the right place (with and without tab). I wanted to make sure that the slot in the centre bumper was in the right place.

Start by cutting slot for tab on ducts -- this is the hardest part as the slot has to be in exactly the right place and it is very visible if it is messed up. It was hard to mark on the black paint so I taped a piece of cardboard in place and dremelled through it.
The best way I found to cut the plastic bumper is with a dremel flex shaft attachment. Go slowly as, if you cut the hole too big, you can't put it back in! Use the dremel to smooth the edges (and don't drop the bits inside the bumper as they'd be hard to get back out).

Hole for duct is cut, wires moved over to that hole for safety and the hole started for light socket. Lots of dust!
Oh yeah - and cut those pesky bolts from the bumperette off flush using the dremel and a cut-off wheel.

I was concerned with bugs and other crap clogging up the oil cooler and a/c condenser so I covered the cooling duct opening with fibreglass screen made to fix screendoors (comes in black and won't rust!). Put a bit of double-sided mounting foam, folded it over tight, and secured with a zip-tie.

I secured it in place with a stainless steel screw into the backing plate behind the bumperette and covered with a plastic cover used to cover screws on license plate frames.
The finished product.........now I just need to wash the rest of the car as only the new ducts/fog lights are clean! I'll try to get some better pictures once it is not snowing outside and it is sparkling clean once again.
Hope this helps someone.......Marc
p.s. Thanks Anthony!
