Kind of working on it in this link. Will probably go with an oil cooler on the passenger side and use the hole on the driver's side for something else.

Actually, I've wanted to do the same sort of thing. One of the site sponsers (GT Motoring- they sell all the JDM Type R parts) sells exactly what you're talking about. The only problem is that it's for the new Type R, and I don't think the front vents will fit our cars at all. I'm not sure if they can be modified to fit or not. Please try it out, and let me know what happens.

it won't work. it's a completely different bumper. im sure someone who is good with fiberglass can make a mold that will fit in the fog light holes... that's what im hoping for...

I was looking into getting this made, but it looks like someone has already started. I will continue to wait patiently and see what comes about.

Don't we already have these just not through the fog lights. There's something in front of our wheels that I thought were brake ducts?

^^we already have a cheesy form of a brake duct.

i am good with fiberglass but am not willing to use my bumper as a mold/template. if some one wants to cut out and send me the black fog light surround ou of a wrecked bumper they may have i could make a good mold to work with.

This will be my upcoming project as well. My buddy made his own brake ducts on his AP1 S2000. I spoke with him a few weeks ago and I'm in the process of obtainig some pictures of his work, so I can start prototyping it for the FG. His design works very well. He used his pyrometer to measure the temperature of his brakes before and after the install (after autox). He said that the temperature of his brakes dropped dramatically.
