Really want to create some custom shaped NACA ducts + aero bits.

Thanks! Yes it's a bit of GT3RS combined with more traditional directed airflow to the hub of the brake disc. A front bumper duct will always flow more than a control arm setup, however... If your front bumper is filled with coolers and other stuff that restricts air flow but most importantly it's impossible to fit a duct. And to that you can add different kinds of engines and it's a nightmare (Mainly M2 N55/S55 in this case). But if possible I always prefer to make a front bumper duct.
Between my brother and myself we have 5 3D-printers and he's the one runing them and I do the rest (R&D, design etc). I do know we have a Raptor, Creality, Prusa, Zortrax M300 and I can't remember the name of the last.
3D-printing is very versatile and I got started with all this because I needed brake cooling ducts for my BMW Z3 Coupe, there's nothing to buy so I had to make my own.
