Rob, what sort of fasteners (diameter/length) did you use to attach your splitter? How heavy would you estimate it is? I went and looked at a sheet of Alumicore yesterday at the sign store and although it is very sturdy it also was heavier than I was expecting.

clarkster, have you seen this thread on the racing & comp forum on an AP2 brake duct kit?

That solution looks well made but I'd have to see what kind of pricing he'd want for them. I am working on a budget LOL.

Got my front bumper pulled off so I can try this brake ducting. It seems fairly straightforward, but the AP2 ducts design would be a little bit more difficult than the AP1 foglight covers for drilling a hole and attaching a flange. I was considering attaching a duct such as this on the inside of the bumper behind the plastic support and running the ducting through the same place in the fender liner as Rob, but I think the hose may be snaked/kinked too much. What do you guys think?

I had to do a lot of cutting/trimming of the front bumper faux inlets as well as these brake ducts. I ended up mounting my air pump lower by buying a metal brace from Lowes and modified the pump relay bracket. I ran the hose through the triangular brace and as far as I know, it doesn't interfere with the air pump or anything like that.

Ah ok thanks for a pic. It is still effective though I gather? I know you said when you trimmed the mongo one you gained a second+ but does the splitter compared to no splitter add stability?
