Is this worth the $50?

not if you don't plan on really using it.

READ: if you don't plan on doing autox or track days don't buy it

then that means that half of the stuff on our cars has to go!
i've seen something similar to that marketed for SUV's - but to keep the rims clean-

just make an air duct from the front-

LOL...

actually it's still a good idea to have since it will cool down the brakes and tires. they are usually equiped on bmw/lexus...etc. factory.

i was just playing with blake when I said what i said

anyway,

our cars wrx's anyway have something that cools the brakes but it's not as efficient.

you should just make your own!

I like it. For only $50 you don't even have to go through the trouble of making your own and it already looks nice

If

you want the ARC vent, Kingpin Performance has it for $35. I'd just make my own brake duct. If you're not seriously tracking your car, you'll don't need any of the above.
