Default brake ducts on EP3?

I was browsing the aj-racing site looking at stuff for the new car and came across these for the DC5-R

I'm building my car for autocross and I was wondering if we could possibly use a modified version of these to fit into the foglight area of our lower opening? These would be nice, but if not I'll have to fab something myself.

You don't need brake ducts for autocrossing. The problem for my brakes is actually heating them up for an autocross run.

Actually you would be suprised. In my Prelude (that had much better brakes) they started to fade towards the end of the day. Also, whenever I did track events at Gingerman I seemed to really benefit from extra air hitting the rotors.

Well the only problem is that they are designed for the RSX/Integra, you could always fab some yourself or have a show do it. Another thing is that where they are in the pic will interfere with a CAI, or at least the AEM CAI.

i have them on my rsx with a aem cai. you could either a) put them on withe the duct(it moves just enough to make room) or b) do like i did and slice a strip wide enought out f the top of the duct and have the front of the filter pointed inside. kind of like a ram air. all you need is a dremel or a sharp razor.
