I found these ducts that kinda look like they could match those slits on the sides of the amuse front.

Or has anyone looked into brake ducts that draw air in from under the car?
Maybe something like this?

I love the Amuse front and the built in undertray is a huge plus to me. The loss of easy brake ducting is a real shame. What do you guys think? |
In my brief experience working on a car with the Amuse front bumper, I'd have to say that those slits are far too close to the outsides of the car to be effective at ducting air to the brakes. The angles would be too sharp, you'd lose a lot of air velocity, since those openings aren't that big anyway.
That main opening however is huge. You could simply add NACA ducts or just open holes to the side shields in the area forward of the radiator and duct to the brakes that way, since there will be a high pressure zone created ahead of the radiator at speed.
That's probably how I would do it.
