I could make something for the stillen bumper as well, but dont know anyone around here with one. you could send me yours

actually thats one of the more expensive parts of the kit.

yes those are the more difficult parts of making this kit. I will be vacuum forming the front ducts this weekend hopefully (already have the design sketched out) and as far as how it mounts up to the rotor/calipers isnt too difficult either. depending on rain (dont have a garage) I will be test fitting those fittings as well this weekend.

once i get a few things actually made, and not just my sketches, I will throw up some pictures.

Actually if am performance has pics of their brake set up on the site how I am cooling the rotors is very similar to that. It is how we did it on some other road race cars that I have been a part of in the past.
