brake ducts

Anyone ever do custom brake ducts for their 04/05? Ive seen reviews for the hawkeyes and i know they have kits for the GR's. Just wondering if anyone knows anyone that sells kits for the 04/05's.

My only concern is where do you place the hose lines. I got the foglight bezels, and i fit a hose and everything but idk where to put the hoses so it doesnt hit the wheels.

I'm working on this for my GR, but have been getting good info from the GD threads on iwsti
DIY: Brake Cooling for the GD-Impreza - Subaru Impreza WRX STI Forums: IWSTI.com

Some folks run the hoses thru holes in the undertray/fender liners, and some are using 'mid ducts' to get the airflow around the wheel. The best solution looks to be the roo duct, but it aint cheap. Z06 ducts are a lot cheaper & can be made to work.

For my GR i bought the quantum motorsports spindle plates, will have them installed soon. Made some custom inlets in the lower bumper, and am messing around with some Z06 'mid ducts' to clear the wheels. not sure how the final solution will look at this point
