The removable covers by the fangs

You guys are slow

Im already looking at brake cooling ducts... planning it all out..

The part that im trying to figure out is how to make the adapters that go on the actual brakes. Its pointless to just route air that way without focusing it on the rotor.

If I owned a 370 that's the first thing I would have done! Plus "depending on what is behind" the "black license plate holder", I would remove that also !

What license plate holder? Oh, that rectangular black thing with screws and junk that I found in my trunk the first day, and promptly deposited in the 55 gallon circular file in my garage upon arriving home?

You mean you didn't put it on eBay?

That's part of the same single piece of black plastic as the front grille. That whole chunk of plastic seems to be glued into the rest of the bumper, at least as far as I can see from the outside right now.

Just running through some old posts and thought I'd add a pic to this thread. This is what the removable covers look like from behind the bumper, where you can see the two bolts:

RCV.....Maybe some ideas here for you. I made some up on my old Audi TT with some aluminum flanges to accept 2.5" hose... Cut and modded the brake backing plate a llittle. More pics here: Cooling album | Ttschwing | Fotki.com
