Post brake cooling ducts

I was fortunate enough to pick up a set of the old Severn Motorsports front brake ducts but most of the links I've found about doing this mod are old and dead. Anybody with some good info or especially pics to post? Was wondering if anyone had engine cooling issues after installing ducting at the air dam? TIA

you could take the fog lights out and run ducting from them to the front brakes

Yeah, but I want to keep the fogs. This is primarily a daily driver, street car.

Mount the blowers in the cavity where you access the side marker lights.

About 2 hours worth of work, $120 in parts and you have a clean install of positive flow cool air

I looked at those blowers but thought it might be overkill for me... didn't think of mounting them in that area though either... you just have them wired to a toggle switch Mitch?

Exactly ... That blower is cheaper than the neoprene ducting all the way to the front of the car.
