Been working on a "street fighter" style front splitter/air dam over my winter break.
Some progress pics:

Heres the brake duct setup. They are 3"

Still need to finish this up... The BMW ducts are just a bit too big for the 3" round hose

Well that's some nice inspiration for my 68 Roadster!

Are those E30 ducts? They look suspiciously similar to the ducts on my 88 325is! :)

That entire setup looks like something E30 racers do, actually. Companies sell plates that go behind the rotors for attaching hose just like what you used. I was thinking of doing something similar to my nova but using the slots in the front bumper.

Thanks guys!

And yeah they are the E30 pieces... I saw those E30 backing plates too. No one makes one for my car, and they seemed easy enough to fab up myself anyway. Just some 3" exhaust tubing thrown in a vise to oval one end, and welded to (whats left of) the dust shields

Looks great!
