Default Brake cooling ducts???

Anyone every found any aftermarket mods to add cooling ducts from the front bumper to blow air onto the front brake rotors. Quite a few other auto makers do this, BMW for instance.

I can see there would be room in the lower left and right of the front bumper. It would help alot when braking from 100+ MPH. I get some serious heat when I have to brake hard. Even starts to wobble as the rotors warp. Always seems to bounce back though.

I know you can do brake upgrades as well but the forced air on the rotors would be a night and day difference I think.

If you get them, let us know how they work. I first saw a set of these in an ad in MM&FF and was interested.

Steeda has a kit. It works with the stock bumper too.

damn for those prices you might as well spend a couple more hundred and just get a big brake kit.[&:]

I have the Agent47 setup (grill and duct kit). They work great and are nice pieces.

I like the look of the front lower grill, fairly subtle.

As for price, all I did was change the brake lines, pads and fluid. All of those items plus the Agent47 kit was still cheaper than the GT500 front kit...not to mention the issue some may have with their wheels fitting over the larger calipers.

seen them in there too. looked nice, kind of $$$ but what isn't? if you road race/auto-x/drive like a bat out of H$@#it probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
