A good friend on mine is a great Fab guy (does work for auto suppliers and some OEM's) so I told him I had a tiny project he could do in his sleep. Turned out nice!
Big thanks to Mitch at CMP fabrication.

Awesome! I really like the Roush fascia!

Also, the Roush wheels you use at the track, those fit fine with your Brembo's?

Um... do brake ducts increase stopping power or simply reduce brake fade? I can't imagine they increase power.... you have what you have based on the amount of friction available between the rotors and pads and the tires and road surface.

yes those are Roush Trak Pak wheels, they were designed to fit 6 piston Brembo's on 2005-2009 cars so they clear easily. Plus they are forged 18x10 and only weigh 19.6 pounds!!!

you are correct, they are too keep the brakes cool to ELIMINATE fad. Race pads plus good ducts = no fade ever

This pics are great of the project.

Ask Allison if she has any 2010 Mustang literature because my dealer could not provide me with anything and Ford CS couldnt get me any either ! lol.

Which end?
The fascia side is total custom
The spindle side has a custom reducer into a bought spindle mount from Rehagen Racing.

Sweet... you should put some temp probes down there and compare the numbers with them blocked versus open.

Nice work... excellent execution.
