Pretty sure they already have integrated ducts from the factory (perhaps not a dedicated duct, but directed air via the fender liner and front aero), but I would not add the extra weight and complexity unless you are experiencing fade.

Your car should already have brake ducts, but double-check as I cannot remember off the top of my head if they are on all trim levels...

This was the best picture I could find, note the black plastic tube going to the wheel well from the front fascia just above the front underbody shield.

They're not the kind of ducts your thinking of but they have intake/exit cooling. Don't bother. That's what that open fender vent is for in front of your door.

Thankfully Ford did a lot of aerodynamic modeling on the underside this time around. Lots of actually active bits on the plastic trays under there.

Do you think there is a problem with brake fade due to excessive heat? Because there have been zero reported issues from any source.

Just can't get enuff!
No need to furbish/add brake ducts... you won't need to. All GT350 versions have the ducts channeling air to all the brake rotors.

No brake fade, just thought it would be a good idea to keep them cool.

just a reminder to everyone, the drilled rotors are non-machineable meaning we can only buy new ones:headbonk:
