I’ve found that my bbk solves my heating problems, but I know that it’s a big investment. What I would like is a 3D cover for the faux ducts to reduce turbulence and drag

I just covered mine with thin aluminum sheet.

AP1 and AP2 front/rear version already created: baero.tech/s2000shop

60+ S2000s are running my ducts without issue. I haven't felt brake fade in years and still on my original wheel bearings.

Thank you for the idea. I'll put this on the to-do list and I'll PM you if we come up with something.

I was able to snap some photos of the rest of the brake cooling system we've designed so far. Thank you to everyone for the feedback and kind words so far.



I used a 2.5" hole saw drill bit to make the opening in the fender liner.



The tube fits in there really well. I used a zip tie on both sides to secure it. It takes a lot of pulling to move it at all, and I don't see it encountering that much force while driving, so I'm planning on testing it like this.





I like how we got the tube pointing directly at the brake rotor but it sticks out a lot right now and it will probably need some adjustment. I'm curious if this is enough to provide an improvement as-is, but I'm planning on finishing the kit: attaching heat resistant neoprene ducting and running it to a hole in the dust shield so the air directly hits the rotors.
