i was thinking about naca duct first time, but i didn't want to block any holes for oil coolers. ( i add additional cooler, because i had over heat issue in summer. )
i may paint it black so it could be hidden..
but i gotta go track and test this out, ( cooling performance, and clearance.. )

Nice work. What are you using at the caliper? I presume the aluminum is mounted to the caliper bolts? Be careful to make sure that the hose or aluminum does not touch your cv boot, lock to lock. The cv boot spins (fast) with the wheel, obviously, and will be ripped easily by an errant piece of aluminum or clamp. Ask me how I know.
You use a lot of hose, is it 2"? Looks to be. Better airflow with fewer bends of course. You will need naca ducts up front to get sufficient airflow into the tubes. Really. You've gone to the trouble to do it right, just a bit more and you will see significant cooling at the track.
Remember, if it is cool out, cover the inlets for the first sever laps (we just use blue painters tape) or your pads won't get warm enough (again, ask me how I know...).

yes it is 2" hose, and hose and adapter does not touch any thing... i tested full lock to lock test. but... i have no room to get straight route between caliper to front bumper..
i might add naca duct later, but wonder where to put them..... don't wanna disturb airflow to oil cooler ( on both side ) much because brake duct...
i really want to make hole on head light for brake duct, but i guess it will cost $$$....
