Brake Air Duced mods
I made the Brake Air Duct modification to my Beast yesterday.
Here's a webpage with the pictures I took along the way:

Brake Air Duct Modification Update
Louv's Way: remove bumper, but leave wheels on.
Greg's Way: leave bumper on, but remove wheels.

Your choice.


I just updated my page www.louv.tv/ducts with a couple of templates for cutting out the air-exit holes in the covers.

Be sure to remove the covers before drilling or cutting into them!

www.louv.tv/ducts/RightSideDuctHole.jpg

These are templates from the Factory duct holes. These holes are larger than they need to be. But that is nothing more than an aesthetic problem.

Hey Louv, your web site seems to be down. Guess I'll do it Greg's way!

Anyone have any tips on jacking the front of the car ? I'll probably just raise one side at a time since I'm not sure where a safe, secure, strong place is in front to lift the whole car. (I've got safety stands of course!)
