Default 97+ Fog lights into Air Ducts

So i plan on turning my fogs i found at the junk yard into air ducts for either ram air or brake cooling.

comments? I looked around, havnt seen really anything posted about this. I did make my own ram air setup along time ago with aluminum dryer piping. but it didnt work to well, and it was in the way when i put a FMIC in.

or you can keep your fogs and use the vents next to them for brake ducting

I was thinking the same thing that the FMIC pipes are gonna be in the way since they are right there. Great idea though if you are NA.

true, but i want something that will actually bolt in place. the spaces next to the fog light holes are big, i would have to fabricate something to fit.. but still thats not a bad idea

I have been pondering this for a while now.. Just trying to find the best route of molding something into the correct shape, then finding a fuctional hose that would actually cool the brakes.

If im not mistaken you have to have the cooling hose face the disc a certain way so it does not interfear with the wheels, suspension travel etc..???
