Any chance of STR ducts for the AP1 front bumper?

Or alternatively ducts that mount similar to your rear ducts but for the front of the vehicle?

If you haven't had them off before and your car is like mine you'll need an impact screwdriver and some patience to get the wind deflectors off. One of the screws was so seized in there I had to dremel a slit in the face to get a better bite on it with the impact screwdriver. Otherwise things went smoothly. I just had to enlarge the holes in the ducts a tad to fit the bolts.

This is so funny. After doing an event last weekend and overheating my rears again I decided I wanted to design my own rear brake ducts since previous people just bought crappy vacuum parts at home depot. Guess I don't have to do that anymore in CAD.

At least that is where I got mine (link found courtesy of Rob Robinette's site) and they look pretty similar.

Mine are hopefully going in this weekend after having them for a couple weeks; quality of the ducts look great and the walk-through on the baero site is extremely helpful.
