Yes, but these will only work on the Nismo front facia and are only for routing cold air to the brakes not the intakes. I am not sure these are available as individual pieces however. These are included in the 370z Nismo RC spec only from what I've read.

I was suggesting buying a Nismo front and routing the ducts to the intake. If you are looking for an off the shelf solution, this probably isn't an option for you.

You mentioned the Stillen being heavier, but there are two versions from what I understand; an older one that was multi-piece and a newer one that is a single piece. I could be wrong. Another thing to consider is the weight of the stock front with a lip, canards and ducts together versus the weight of the Stillen. And if we're talking a few pounds, it's probably not going to make a noticeable difference.

True and not true at the same time. If you were to run a NISMO Intake or possibly the AEM ETI, you could make the NISMO RC Brake Ducts act like intake ducts. It is all depending on where you direct the air.

The NISMO RC Brake Ducts are just ridiculously expensive.

The Mine's ducts look good with the right aero package. I am split. I like the ducts and then I also like the subtle look without them. EventhorizoN's car just looks awesome all around.

Uhm... LIGHT BULB!!!! I would imagine for it to be really easy cutting into the aluminium hood with a dremel. Cuts would be very precise and easy. I have seen the GTR thingies being sold alone. I just thought it was a replacement to the actual GTR piece. Never thought of that. :ughdance:

Thanks man for the idea! I always loved that look; subtle yet agreesive at the same time! Another project coming up :tup:
