Does the 3" fit through the undertray piece? I'm thinking of doing what Richbot mentions below.

For a street car that's where I'd stop, coupled with a better pad, if I wanted to stay with the stock brakes anyway, but that Stoptech front 355 kit is so reasonably priced relative to a $800 stock front brake job, kinda makes it hard to ignore the opportunity to upgrade unless you really just want to stay stock or are really sticking to a budget

I'm thinking this is good enough paired with a BBK. What did you use on the back side of the undertray to secure the duct?
Thanks.
It just amazes me we have no ducts at all. E46 had then blocked off, but at least they were there.
