Kraft, is the ducting touching the abs wheel sensor in the 3rd pic down? Looks like it would rub right through if it is.

Thanks Rob thats a good ide, I vill tape one side up when I go to the track next time, and take some temp readings.

Doesn't cooling only one side of the rotor cause the rotor to crack ???? That worries me!!!

Most of the airflow from the ducts gets pumped from the inside of the disk through the disk and out the outside edge.

Awesome! What exactly is the install process? Epoxy? Or some sticky double sides tape? Looks great!

I bought the orange duct and the aluminum flange from that aerospace website.
I just need the piece to attach to the front bumper. I have an AP1, so the WASP one wont work.. ($175 is a bit too much..)
I know its ghetto, but has anyone tried just cutting out the plastic, and a couple of holes around it for some good old plastic zip ties??

I am planning on doing the WASP ducts, but decided to play around with different styles of duct covering. My first though was just cut slats into the current plastic cover to keep the OEM look. Thought I would share. It is a really minor thing but I can't stand looking at hacked together crap.

(view images at original size to see the difference)

v01 (removing every other slat):


v02 (removing half of every slat, similar to the size of the hole that is in the cover already):


or v03 (Evo IX mesh material, removing the cover all together) Probably the best option in terms of airflow, and doesn't look bad at all.
