Default Rear brake coolers.

I know it would be a little more challenging on our cars to do this because of the metal inner fender well but I was wondering if anyone had tried to fab up some sort of rear break cooler for the Camaro/Firebird.

I know they look sweet on the ZO6's and on the 'vettes that have after market kits.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this or seen it done? Pics?

Just an idea I had running through my head.

I tried a photoshop job, but as you can see, I didn't spend much time on it. Looks like we'd have to go with something other than the 'vette design to make it look good on the rear of the kick panel.

And no, my car isn't up on jacks, it actually sits that freakin' high. Not to worry though, it's comin' down in a couple more days.

Maybe if it was more of a square it would work. Never realized that's a pretty decent sized area. Could work though...

Not necessary unless you're a serious autocrosser.

Definitely not necessary, but might look cool if done right.
Maybe a tear drop design, or something. Seems like alot of fab work though for something you don't need.
