Well you can usually get Yuki with Japanparts to add anything that's JDM if you just ask him. I'm not sure how your JDM connects work, but so far I've been able to get Yuki to add a bunch of JDM stuff I've seen elsewhere. He even added the power folding side mirror assembly and I was just asking how they worked!

It's a good thing you live in Socal. If I had that I would be sucking snow up into the engine bay. I guess snow would do well in cooling the engine down haha.

As a side note, going to add an oil cooler to this bad boy given the high RPM nature of the engine. figure more cooling is better...cant hurt can it? haha
Good idea no need to rush!, Oil cooler absolutely can't hurt and smart move IMO.

It's a scoop to cool the front brakes. Probably not as efficient at cooling the brakes compared to a direct brake duct. Plus, if you bottom the front end, there goes your $500 plastic ducts, lol.

Sounds like an excuse to fly to Japan. Maybe grease a few palms, who knows what you might come back with!

Agreed. I know that they have the brake cooling kits that replace the fogs and the tubing goes to the brakes. Why hasn't anyone made a kit that lays behind the lower FR-S grill on the sides and does the same thing (I'm thinking Lexus style on the IS & GS F-Sport, IS-F &RC-F but are behind the grill) allowing the fogs to remain. It's the same concept as the under scoops, without the worry of scraping.

My idea in MS Paint lol.


Note this is just me thinking, I have no idea if there is even room to have something like this at the lower portion.
