Rear brake ducts
I was thinking of installing (non functional) rear brake ducts and would like to know what the experience of others has been.
What is the fit / finish like?
Do they stay on well?
Thanks,

I have read several times on this board that the stick-on ones do not stay on the car at higher speeds. :nono:
Plus . . . they're fake. :)
Best of luck.

My freind put them on and they do not fit well. They will also get torn up by stones, so if you aren't getting cooling I'd keep the money for other things.

Thanks for the feed-back. I am concerned about how they would look and stay on. Even though the cost is low, I'm not sure the effort will be worth it.

I went for the real ones and I would do it again! The install is easy and if your careful the fit perfect.
