Thanks brother. Im waiting on the rest of the hose and ill hook them up directly onto the brake shields. Honestly, although it took some time these are turning out quite well and my total cost will be around $150. That includes having to make the ducts twice for prototypes and paying for the more expensive USPS shipping. Down the road i may build a new duct that fits the entire lower portion but ill wait till i get some boost to figure that out.

Once this is finished the next custom project will be some ways off but...im looking to build my own Diff cooler. Checked out the prices of everything id need and i think i can get the parts similar to the GTM kit for around $400. Considering that their kit is 1200 or so thats a good bit o savings.

You should show this to the Company that makes the front fascia.

I'll think about it but Zele Japan probably doesn't care lol. Plus if they made them u know it would cost probably around $400 for just the ducts.

My Main concern now is the adapter im building is going to have the rivets too close to the rotor and when turning the wheels it will get pushed against the rotor and score it. For now back to the drawing board.

this is very similar to what I was going to do.. rivets touching the rotor, cant you just bend the dust shield a bit?

I actually riveted the connection at an angle up a bit to give it clearance and it worked. Ill take some pics next time the wheel is off.
