why not cut the corner of your door to be rounded like a vette? it isnt used for anything and with experience it would probably only take a few days. The only reason i dont is becuase i dont even know if i want them for sure and its a lot of wprk to get such a simply mod unless i want it there forever which knowing me, i wont want them there after a year or so. You can always find them on ebay. You can find reall ones with all the plastic piping to make them functional or you can find aftermarket replicas which arent functional and they simply stick on with double sided body tape. Both are usually around $100

Yep looks good, though I hate the Mecham company with a passion.

Some needs to find a place that sells body ducts. The C6 style looks badass.

if you could get c6 z06 ducts and cut out a slit on the fenders where you're putting them then you can build an intake that would point toward the calipers and rotors, like on z06's. that would be pretty freakin sweet.

Probably not functional but properly molded on (unlike 3m tape or fake *** Mustang vents).

No way someone is still going to have energy to run ghetto dryer tubing to the rear brakes after going through the trouble of cutting, molding, and painting a proper duct.

Besides quite a few Z06 owners pull out the ducting so that they can fit 315's with a lower chance of rubbing on hard turns or 335's at all.

It's like a "functional" cowl hood on a 4th gen...

Already talked with them way back when those pics came out - the vents on the STS car are not custom, nor from Porsche - they are from a Toyota...

Toyota's actually production cars SUCK performance wise.

They make performance Lexus but they don't make anything performance wise in the Scion or Toyota name plates.

Plus for the output their sport compact put out they get pretty crappy mileage. (talkin about the TC here)
