Default My New Brake ducts
Since my car ie...giant paper weight has been sitting all week I decide to get rid of my foggy fog lights and put in my braked ducts. I am super excited with the way they came out.
thoughts?

Are they dirty or is there no clear coat on them? I like the large opening for better air flow. Are these just dumping air to the oil cooler?

I have these on my car and I use them to get more air to the oil coolers.

Does anybody actually go thru the job of really ducting these things? It's a huge job to do. I'm curious who's done it.

PITA

And to get the air there I needed to decrease the hose diameter to about 2.5"

I have because I track my car. If you track it, you should do it. If only a street car, then don't bother since there's no benefit on the street.

They look like Better Bodies ducts - around $90 for the pair.

Be prepared for lots & lots of prep work before considering the first coat of paint....

I think these came from Ebay, I just searched on ebay and there is a seller from the UK selling these for $40.
