    As title suggests im thinking of removing my fog lights and trying some kind of ram air mod. Maybe just directed into the engine bay or maybe direct to airbox on the driver side. Or maybe to the wheel well for brake cooling. Anyone try anything like this?

    This. Not to mention how would you prevent water/debris from getting in it.

    You would have to have grate for debris and a reservoir/drain system of sorts, if it was just for the brakes water really wouldn't matter. And I have some hid projectors I'm mounting as fog lights elsewhere, the stock ones are so huge and useless.

    On a naturally aspirated car I'd agree, as far as the air box setup, but for brakes it would definitely improve cool down time between the turns. Plus I don't plan on being naturally aspirated next spring.

    So what would you do about your blinkers/drl?

    Unless your looking for a go ahead I seriously doubt you would gain anything out of it. No point in reinventing the wheel! Remember its a Grand Prix not some million dollar sports car.

    I'm guessing he's 97-03 in which case he won't have to worry about the turn signal

    n/a, supercharged, or turbo...this wouldn't help anything.

    as brake cooling ducts it'd at least be benficial, but when was the last time you got your brakes so hot that you started to fade them? please say never. please.

    If your brakes are getting hot you need to learn how to stop riding the pedal. Completely useless to go this route rather you're n/a, Sc, turbo or not

    I couldn't find the thread, but there was a guy who stuck 2 small radiators in the fenders and made an interesting inter cooling setup.

    I haven't but when you add more horse you should add more braking capability. Plan on dropping about 7g into this car by the time im done with it. Shooting for 400 WHP
