Default Brake duct parts

Hi guys

Kinda embarrassing but I spun out at the track and ripped out the front left brake duct (plastic piece) ; and front spoiler....

I ran better without those parts rest of the day but I can tell the brakes were getting hot pretty quick.... Fading....

What's the part number for the plastic duct? I had to cut the plastic off since it was dangling...

Thanks

check out Suncoast Porsche Parts.....google it not sure of the web address but they have the stock GT3 ducts...like $30 or so and they also have the GT2 race style ducts which are a lot bigger and cram even more air to the brakes.

The gt2 ducts are much larger and do a better job. As for price it takes an extra dollars worth of plastic so they mark that up by 200 dollars.

If anyone finds aftermarket GT2 please let me know

I run TTS or GT2 scoops, not sure on part number.
That and bottom NACA ducts might help. Never scientifically tested yet, but you can't have too much brake cooling in Florida I figure..

I think due to the clips and shape of that thing.... Probably hassle to make a mold. I'll just stick tot he $30 plastic scoop for now. Thanks guys....
