The pic Dean linked is how I plan on implementing my brake ducts. Better spot for gathering cool air to the ducts as well; the naca ducts in the underbody would be a Low Pressure High Velocity zone iirc.

deansbimmer What is holding the fabricated brackets in these spots (see arrows)? Any pics of the duct brackets before install?
Is that a 2" hose, 2.5" or something else? |

It's an aluminum bracket secured at the bottom with the screws you can see in the picture. It doesn't need anything securing the top to the bumper cover. I don't have any pictures, It wasn't a complicated part.
Its standard 2.5" brake ducting. |

Thanks Dean!
Much appreciate you re-sending me the instructions! Had to reroute/bend those hoses (power steering I believe) and reset my inter-cooler pipe. But once I did that it slide in with minimal effort. The amount of added rigidity is noticeable. Heading to the track this weekend!
Thanks again!

It was over a year before I got around to putting this in, now halfway through. I think it probably could have been made of thinner stock for an easier install. One trick I've hit upon so far.. I used two foot-tall boxes to hold the weight of the side pieces while pushing the middle into place between the bumper cover and the lower radiator trim (or whatever that curved part is). I'll try a trick from post 80 to use longer screws to get the rear in place since the stock ones barely have any thread engagement given how thick this piece is!

We had a batch of screws that didn't hold up so we've changed suppliers. We're also shipping these trays with slightly larger drill bits to ease with installation of those screws.
Thanks everyone for all of the orders! |

Installed my new aluminum replacement for the felt undertray from MPorium! Thanks so much Ed. Love this product and so glad to finally be done with the stupid felt ones that I end up replacing all the time.
I didnt read all the comments so apologies if it was mentioned but one thing everyone should know is that it really adds a good deal of rigidity to the bumper which helped me out a bunch as mine as gotten beat up over the 10 years its been on the car and this pushed it all back into place.

I bought one about a year or two ago, stupidly paid a body shop to install it and they completely used different hardware that makes it PITA to remove. Can you sell all the hardware only?
