It's a quest. I'm convinced I will be able to get them somehow but I'll ahve to get lucky. And Cody, I'm looking for functionality as well as the "look". I haven't seen the whole kit but they're supposed to cool your front brakes.

Do you get your brakes hot enough to need to cool them? I.E... do you track?

So long as you have good pads (carbotech works), DOT 4 brake fluid and non-ricey rotors (holes/slashes)... you should be good to race. Mightybobo does well with this combo.

You can also get some cryo-treated rotors if you want the extra assurance. Ill prolly go with these for my next set. Tirerack sells em.



....oh and come to trackdaze!

The engineer is up for the task, now if we can get the bossman involved and give the approval (ie fund the project) then I'll give you details as to what all is involved. Just chatted with the engineer for about 20 minutes about this.

Easier route: have the Nismo RC piece to replicate, or base the drawings off of

However he said drawing/designing from scratch is doable too!

Do you plan on getting see through fender liners and front bumper?

Only part that you see is the duct. Making that is the toughest part. I have ideas but you'll have to wait and see.

Body shop. No way in hell I'm doing that on my own. It needs to be perfect and symmetrical but I'll worry about that once I get it built.
