Default Any nicely integrated brake ducts for 2010+ cars?

Looking to buy a 2010 and use it pretty regularly for track days. I'll need brake ducts. I see where Quantum Motorsports has a nice kit that you can buy with some of their really slick inlets for the 2005-2009 cars and end up with what looks like a great kit for about $250. I like that price range. My question is, can those 05-09 inlets be integrated into the airdam on the '10+ cars? Looks like it wouldn't be a perfect fit, but it also looks possible with a little tweaking. Or is there another route to go? I've seen some folks fabricate some really nice fiberglass stuff and others appear to use cupholders or some such thing to make a surprisingly decent looking inlet, but I didn't know if there was an 'easy', well-integrated setup out there for not much money for the newer cars. I have searched to no avail.

Latemodel Restoration lists one from Agent 47 that works with the CS front valence. Personally, I had the same thoughts you did so I bought the Quantum kit. It's sitting in my garage and some time in the next month or so I'll figure out if it fits or not.

Steeda makes front air ducts for '10+ cars. And you can actually buy a Steeda front end fascia with the Steeda ducts; the two kits go together by design.

I bought the CS valance before Steeda had their front end out or I would have bought the Steeda unit I like it a lot.

I am still working on this these are in process pictures just to show you what I am doing.

I too love the Steeda ones. The thing about the Steeda ones that really grab my likings are the front fascia design. I think Steeda has the best looking front end kit for 10+ and the brake ducts go very well with it

That's a nice looking setup 908. Those backing plates look beefy!

The Steeda would be nice, but unless I'm just dense (distinctly possible) it looks like you have to buy their front clip to make it a complete integrated setup. Which would be $1,000 for the cooling kit and clip plus getting it painted.

To me, it looks like I could buy the Quantum race kit for $175 and then would just need something for an inlet. If need be I could probably get some low profile rectangle inlets that funnel to a 3" tube and mount them under the airdam, but I am hoping to be a little more slick than that .

They only weigh a couple ounces they are made from sheet welded together. The mounting surface for the backing plate is nearly an inch from the back of the rotor so that is one way of closing off the opening so nearly all the air actually goes through the rotor and not all over the place.
