You can only purchase the complete brake duct and not just the bottom part. Anyway, that's what my dealer told me...

They're relatively cheap compared to anything else on the car.

My rear passenger side came off at TWS too a while back. Replacement on and both are zip tied now.

I finally got around to Zip tying mine. Too late! passenger side is missing. grrrr.

Edit: this is odd. My ENTIRE duct is missing on the passenger side. Not just the bottom. How the hell did that happen?

What are the chances that it was never there ?

Good point. I believe those brake ducts are put on by the dealer during PDI, correct?

Default Short term fix for bottom half

Could not figure out why my tire temps were so high last week at Autobahn CC (32 to 46). Discovered that I was missing bottom half and ordered it right away but had to rig up an interim fix for a short session tomorrow. Hope it holds up.

Duct tape and cardboard FTW!

BTY, good to see an old thread started by MyBailey07 resurrected. He passed on due to brain cancer. His GT4 lives on at the track in the hands of a fellow PCA and Rennlist member who lives in South Texas.
