BMW GT4 Brake Cooling Ducts?

Who is running BMW GT4 Brake Cooling Ducts? Any pics of your setup or how you routed them to the backing plates?

These even look nice

Those look good. I found the AutoTeknic reps which are under $400 right now, still expensive especially since I have to make an irreversible change to the front bumper.

To actually get the full effect, you need the GT4 splitter, which has larger pickup ducts - the two ducts (the ones you posted plus the splitter intakes) both hit the center of the brake disc via a carbon backing plate.

The entire setup is almost $10k and requires destruction of your bumper. It's probably easier to fabricate some scoops and use some $40 brake hosing to design an alternate solution.

After you posted this I actually poked around the bumper to see if I could rig something together with just the front vents and the RevozSport plate - there just doesn't appear to be enough clearance to do that without hacking up too much.

You need entire GT4 aero setup to run BMW GT4 Brake Cooling Ducts. It is expensive, but very effective. You don't have to worry about your brakes anymore and lap times improve dramatically.
