Random request: does anyone that installed FE's brake ducts have one of their templates on hand? I'm trying to check if they'll fit with my current canards or if I'll need to find an alternative.

If they are close to the RC Nismo ducts. I made a pattern when I installed mine. PM me your address. I'll send you a copy of my pattern. :tiphat:

Will do. I'm strapping on twin 78mm turbos too. It should be a wild ride.

I have FE ducts on my car. I can take some measurements and pictures if you want?

That would be great as well just in case the Nismo template Rusty is providing me with is a different size than the FE... can't have too much information when it involves cutting things open lol. Thanks!

Vents are being shipped out to people who are helping with developing the template. My buddy is helping with that template work and his vents arrived yesterday. Full production is still underway from what he has heard.

Edit: No word on when they will start shipping.

I sent Kevin an e-mail asking about shipping dates yesterday. And here is his reply. :tup:

"We are getting ready to ship but I think the production won’t be completed until 12/14 (our target date for the entire batch). And I still need to do quality inspection on them and figure out the template situation. I hope to make a post on this soon. Aside from that, everything is going smooth. Thank you for being so patient! I’ll keep you in the loop before I ship."

gbrettin 12-09-2018 05:38 PM

Thanks for checking Rusty.

So is it too late to get the discounted pricing? I don’t think you ever got to 30...

We all paid a little extra to get this started.

Anyone know what's up with Finite Element's web site? I've been getting 404 errors when trying to navigate there. I'd like to contact them about an order and am hoping their doors are still open and their lights are on!

Hey that blue thing is mine!

I’m working on the driver side tonight and providing some info to FE on the template and some measurements. My end goal is to do a write up next week once I’m happy with the fitment (not seeing any part issues, it’s just a bit of a bear to make things my version of perfect.) if you guys would find it helpful. I’ve spent about 30 hours on the various things with this firs tset. Roughly half of that is just measurements and info for FE but I would gues this will be about a 20-40 hour ordeal for most depending on how carefully you want to cut it but I am doing this with the fenders on the car as I still drive it daily.

I certainly appreciate the time and effort you have put into this.

So small update, at the request of a friend on here I put a few of my passenger side progress pictures in a public album on my profile. Check them out if you want an idea of what you’ll go through.

I plan to put together a DIY next week highlighting the following:

-Basic install with things I personally ran into.
-My version of cutting the fender liner with optional adding mesh to protect the vent from debris
-tools I used
-many photos to document the whole thing.

I don’t really plan to go down to the nut and bolt level as this isn’t something simple so I’ll make an assumption that a basic understand of finding clips and bolts is a skill the reader will have. Anyone want to see anything else?

I’m assuming it’s to late to order a set?
