brake ducts for 2015+ NISMO
 
Wondering if anyone is making a kit to somehow mount brake ducts on the front bumper of the 2015+ NISMO. Searching hasn't revealed anything useful, so asking here as a final attempt....

I was looking for this the other day. I can't find them. I have the plastic inserts pulled out right now and thinking about rotozipping the screen look out.

I'm hoping someone with access to a 3D Printer can come up with something. :tup:

naca ducts
 
Given that there doesn't seem to be an out of box solution, I've purchased some small naca ducts from here:

https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...p?Product=3627

and I intend to place them horizontally in the middle lower portion of the front bumper here:

I've checked and the small ducts will fit fine.

I'll be taking them to a body shop I trust with the objective being a professional looking installation.

This was inspired by those folks that have put the same type of ducts in the undertray, out of sight. On our cars, I just don't trust that there would be enough airflow from the bottom of the car.

Cost will be higher than a simple Stillen kit:

- stillen kit (for the brackets)
- naca ducts (https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...p?Product=3627)
- 2.5" ducting (https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...p?Product=3631)
- 2.5" to 2.0" reducers (found here: Hose Reducers)
- time & materials at the body shop

Currently I'm out about $450 before taking the bumper and the ducts into the body shop. Such is life....

I made a set for 2" tunes but you have to cut the bumper. Would be interested in making a few more if people are interested

Here's a little more detail on the recent set I did. These are now 3" tubes. built the mold out of Styrofoam and put packaging tape over it. After that I fiber-glassed them up and cut to fit.
