Hose is attached to FM intercooler tubing, using vacuum hose over the zipties in order to prevent the duct hose from wear (thanks to a suggestion in another thread, from BBundy, IIRC).

And then the upper A-arm. I've elected to aim the duct at the caliper, per Emilio's suggestion, rather than use Singular brake ducts. The theory is that it's better to cool the caliper than the rotor, as that's where the fluid is.

In order to test clearance at full lock, I had to raise the wheel, as it tests differently at full droop

Due to differences in intercooler hose length, I had to bridge the longer gap by attaching to the anti-roll bar

Perhaps even a little tighter clearance on this side, but still workable (I hope)

Finished view from the front. The ducts are loose. Perhaps I'll silicone them in place if I get around to it, but perhaps not.
