Anyone interested in G8 custom front brake vents for cooling?

[Doug Hilliard]

Update: I called them this morning and he said if we could get ten of us interested he would be in for developing the kit. I verified the price and he said it would be in the area of the other kits he sold. The most expensive is the Corvette for $215. The Mustang kit is $175. I think the difference is a full plate on the back of the rotor or a partial plate with two bolts. He can do either I think once he has the design.

Interest expressed by these so far:

Doug Hilliard
TCorzett
jbak
Eidolon (maybe, depending on a plan for the GXP)
HuskerG8
ULTRA Z

And for that price, keep my hat in the ring.

Will it clear the back plate when people do CTSV 6 piston upgrade since you have to trim the back plate? Will it be made for the GXP bumper?

I am interested in seeing how they deal with the GXP front end

I'm thinking they won't. Instead, they give us a scoop of some sort, plus the hose, and we then cut holes in our lower tray, behind/underneath the bumper, and let them protrude just a bit, secured in place with whatever brackets or adhesive we can fashion or find.

In short, a DIY.

Correct, it will be made for the GT.

Correct, it will be made for the GT.

The earlier they can provide some details about how this'll fit the GT, the better. If I can make it work for my GXP, I will.

Not sure about the CTSV upgrade; I don't know what is involved with this upgrade. I can call them and ask but I'm not sure they will know either. The kit will be made to fit the GT; not sure what mods would be needed to fit upgrades.

I would be installing these with my Baer brakes, but they do not require the dust shields to be modified/removed. I also have a Maggie, so it would be great if they didn't interfere with the intercooler (but I don't think should be an issue if we're using the lower insert areas of the nose).

Todd, I agree the kit won't be an issue with the Maggie. That would be a dealbreaker for me too but the kit I saw on a Mustang was definitely in the lower area of the car so wouldn't be a concern for the intercooler. We need about four more folks to get this thing going!
