Just like this. Does anyone know how much airflow the brakes would receive if the brake vents were on the side of the bumper? I want to vent my brakes but I want to keep my fog lights (it's my daily driver over a race car).

Don't know about the hose routing but how about putting them towards the front of the hood to reduce front lift?

Dan, they might work, but here's what I did when I was still keeping my fog lamps (I've since replaced the lamps with ducting for a straighter shot).

I like that much better! Not "feeling" the NACA ducts. I doubt there is much air flow or pressure to be had in the side location.

Even if there was airflow the path the air would have to take to get to the brakes would be 2 90 degrees turns, so i doubt much ait would get to the brakes.

Dunna know about that.
I've cleaned all kinds of tire booger/oil tracks/ whatever off that area on every race car I've had. Where the air goes, so goes the grime.
