DIY thread: fiberglass brake cooling inlet ducts for Evo 8/9 C-West bumper cover

Dunno how many track day people here have a C-West front bumper cover, but just in case (or, if you're thinking about putting a C-West style bumper on your car, here's an extra reason to do it):

If nothing else, it thoroughly documents the process for making a custom fiberglas duct or vent—certainly a project someone here in the Motorsports subforum may be contemplating.

Good eye: the oil cooler (and engine) is removed from the car right now, hence the clear view of the tire tread on the passenger side in that one picture above.

But normally my OEM cooler is mounted in the OEM location. The silicone hose on the passenger side is normally ziptied to the bottom of it and the oil lines, actually.
