Default Opinions of adding brake ducts on rear ?

I have the C4S in the paint shop for bumper resprays and ding and chip repair. Its going to be there awhile awaiting a inner grill for the turbo spoiler. My thoughts are this might be the time to do modifications. What are your thoughts on the rear brake ducts being added like the Turbo S had? I really like the look, but I am concerned about any negative effects on resale , (if that were to ever happen), Has anyone done this here before?

TIA

I think they look HOT! Really can't see them taking away from resale, but they will not be cheap to graft on.

The Turbo S had rear brake ducts? I didn't think those holes went anywhere.

Engine and Brake cooling according to what I have read. I just like the look, not the functionality.

The rear metal fender ducts are available from Porsche. EXPENSIVE call and get the price, but be sitting down when get the quote - I think best price is $800 per side through Sunset Porsche in Porland OR. Jim

Default Brake ducts

These Gemballa ducts are functional (and FS at a reasonable offer).

Anyone used AMGKIT.com they have a new set selling for 1295.00 ready to paint. They also sell the front air duct, has anyone used them or is Porsche the place to go for the front duct?
