Who knows what that means though? Are they useful ducts or for looks? Where are they routing air from? Can we retrofit?

Nah I totally understand what ya mean, and I want to see what they look like as well, as a matter of fact I think I will be heading over to my local Nissan dealer on my day off tomorrow and see if I can snag the keys to a 2012. I'll try and snap some pics if I find anything. But it does say "purpose built" so I'm guessing its not for looks.

Why would they put ducts in for looks?

My guess is they are using file photos from older models since nothing has changed on the exterior. The ducts will either draw air from the fang vents, center vent, or from underneath the car and will run directly to the caliper or the rotor for cooling.

And my guess is it will be very simple to retrofit since nothing else has changed.

Pretty simple, IMO.

Dunno....



Hell, even the current fangs are fake vents.


My comment was more in terms of "functional" vents that aren't. I wanna know if they are set up to actually push air on the brakes.
