What do you guys think about these? Do you think it would look good on the Nismo fascia?

CorSport: Exterior - Brake Air Ducts - NACA-020825

I think I would make those fit. Those look HOT! and not as expensive. The main thing is that there is a hole with a hose that runs to the brakes that makes them not glow in the daylight... everything else is just personal preference IMO. I vote for these here! :tup:

Another Option

Here is another option that has worked well for me. I am probably going to replace the hardware with some nice black painted stuff, but it looks ok for now. They have stood up to the track at Miller Motorsports Park at 130 mph. Let me know if any of you want any more information about them. They were only about $50.

I apologize for posting my classified in the wrong place earlier...i was looking all over why it didn't show up on the classified.

I know i'm not really offering any solution but I did end up making myself the Nismo replica brake duct from the turnkey and thought i'd share.

Here's how it looked.

I got the NACA Ducts at Summit Racing. They had to be bent a little to fit flush with the bumper, but they are pretty pliable. The screws are not really needed at this point as they are also siliconed in. I think these are the ones, they are actually 29.95 each.

How can you beat that price! I love the way it turned out too! How come you didn't use black rivets?

Thanks man! Yours look damn good too. Yeah for the price it is a really great option considering the ridiculous price of the Nismo ducts. I am still considering put some black rivets or screws in, still haven't decided whether I like the shiny silver screws or not... Everyone I talk to seems to think I should keep it as is.

What size hose you using? And how did you route it around the washer bottle?

Should look good with the black hardware

I vote for the stock stealth look of black hardware.

I hope downshift is doing something with these I need to get a set.
