as far as poor knockoff, do you think the cwc ones are originals/unique? lots of people do make them and these are my version. by your reasoning, i guess every single jgtc/leman/ car has a knock off of the cwc one huh?

Don’t worry about it skunks, most people don’t have the appreciation of what building something from scratch with minimal tooling and equipment entails.
Good job it should get the cooling job done just fine even if they are not perfect knockoffs.
The only thing that I am looking at is the tubing you used to direct the air at the rotor.
I remember you talking about deciding placement or size, but from the pic the ports look a little small compared to other designs.
That is just a PVC coupler so you can get all the pieces to just plug in right?
Also you have a PM

in anycase, this should solve a lot of the clearance issues with the brake lines and abs sensor lines. i will be suggesting to get a 2 to 3 inch rubber coupler which can allow more air and offer a venturi effect to speed up air to the eye of the brake rotor.

there are a couple of reasons why to go with cf
1st: its nice, its got a nice finish i think although some dont like it, "if you have the means-i seriously suggest you get one" - ferris buller quote.
2nd: its fairly light weight (probally nothing you will notice but its nice to be able to say you are doing everything possible to weight reduction a car )
3rd: its easy for me to work with, cf is a very forgiving material as i can mold it/shave it/turn it in to anything i wish.
4th: its which should really not get hurt that badly, cf is fairly durable
5th, its suppose to double as a shield, its suppose to get dirty and scratch by rocks

Doesnt Ferris (say I suggest picking up one up?) hehe on the ferrari right, damn that movie was funny..
Yeah when I asked will it be cool, I meant for rocks and *****, rocks heat etc....
The ones I saw before from some companies were aluminum, with the same set-up and a hose etc... They were on race cars, but they didnt use CF, I wonder why since they are big on weight reduction.
Not that it means its bad, I know CF is damn strong...
