Anybody ever do this? is it even possible to make it functional? I mean if Top Secret can get dumps to exit the front fenders behind the wheel i figured someone has done this. not looking to necessarilly use Z06 ducts either just something like it.

Greddy sideskirts have functional ducts for the rear - Need tubing to route to the brakes though.

I think this is a DIY front duct kit.

behind the sideskirts. there is little room to put ducting for rear brakes..unless you went down and around the wheel.. then you might as well just have fins directing air passing underneath the car toward the suspension/brake assembly.

if u want to cool brakes.. i'd do the front since the front brake bias is really where u need most of the cooling..

front fender behind the wheel is alieviate front wheel aero drag since air off the wheels tend to go forward as its spinning, disrupting the airflow that is coming under neath the front lip that is heading toward the back (thats why you typically see little flaps right infront of the front wheels..

its not really for 'cooling'
