Mazdaspeed Front Bumper Oil Cooler/Brake Ducts?

i have been looking around the mazdaspeed japan website and found a nifty piece that goes into the gaps left for the oil coolers. it is two plastic pieces that direct airflow into the oil coolers more efficiently. however.....there list price is very expensive, around $500.

if anybody could make a plastic/carbon trim piece to possibly fit inside the oil cooler gaps id be most interested in purchasing one. or maybe somebody can develop a similar product but with a design that can cool the brakes down as well?

I got my bumper a couple of days ago , great quality, fit and finish, easy to install with directions, only thing thats a little tricky is foglights and brackets cause you have to cut some of the oil cooler ducts to get the light brackets in there and the istructions for doing that are a little confusing

ducts

I have made break ducts and an air box duct using drier flex vent tub. only cost 10 bucks and took about 3 hours to cut the plastic with a razor. you have to take the bumper of to go trought three layers of plastic ( oil cooler sepperating wall then the inside finder) the best way to make it go were you want it is by using zip ties.

I feel a little more power from the cold air and i feel less break fad in long runs on the back roads of Va. I am tring to get some pics of that and my battery transfer to the trunk. I will get it done soon.
