brake cooling duct on saleen bumper?

dansgt · April 11th, 2010, 06:45 PM

so imma be installing my cobra brakes this week, but i've been thinking, is kit out there to install a brake cooling duct on the saleen front end? i think it'd be pretty bad ass to make the 2 outer holes in the front bumper usefull. i did search but all i found was for newer mustangs or this site for basically stock
94-04 Mustang Brake Cooling Kits : Quantum Motorsports online store, High quality performance parts for your street or race car.

Thats pretty cool. Ive never seen anything like that for the saleen bumper though.

Cant really see how your bumper looks but depending on how bad you want some I bet you could buy one of those kits just for the duct work and shit and build what you need to to make the duct fit the bumper and look good.

i dont really have a good front pic yet, but this will show you the idea. i'm thinkin just a universal one and mold it to fit the opening.

Thats what I was thinking. Or take the bumper off. Fiberglass over the backside of the opening real well, then drill a hole in it with a hole-saw to mount your ducts. Then as far as making it match goes just tape off the bumper and spray the glass with some simple black. Average person wont tell the difference or itll just look like a kit that was made that way.

yea i'll probably end up doing that, but thats a project for another time, was kind of hoping that there was a solution i just wasn't finding.

I guess you would have to fab something to receive the air from the front bumper on any mustang with this kit?

I like this idea and don't see any issues making it work.
