Anyone figure out the individual part numbers through Ford instead of the expensive ass kit M2004FRS?

You are better off buying the whole kit from Capaldi Racing or CJ Pony parts. Fordparts.com says $63 MSRP for each side. Capaldi racing is the absolute cheapest I have found for the air deflectors.Ya I have found them for $63 elsewhere, but still seems like a lot for a couple mass produced plastic parts.
I'm trying to find the individual part #'s to buy them through Ford parts websites.
Just the inner one he is touching in the picture.I use these:

And if you want more airflow, you should do something whith these things:

I tried everything possible to prevent overheat with the stock brakes with no big results and in the end i just upgraded to the big brake kit (Brembo, 4 pistons and 350mm rotors).thanks, did you feel a big difference on track? did you track the car?
did you remove the dust shield from the brake disk for better cooling of the disk?
I think you'd have to make something to work in place of the fog lights, and install them for track use, but revert back to stock for normal street use. This area kind of crosses the line between street and track use. If you are tracking it hard enough to fade/overheat your brakes, the brake pad compound, rotors, and cooling will need to change when you do this You can have these parts set aside just for track days. That, just or have a dedicated track car.the main issue on this car with the brakes caused by the TVS system
on my car i have LSD and a software to reduce TVS( it does not defeat it to 0 but lower its impact) together i can track the car on a tight circuit with no cooling time.
but, brake cooling is never enough....
didn't find a reasonable priced kit for the fog light
Maybe a dumb question... What's the con of using something like the Velossa Tech Brake Cooling Kit on a daily, apart from not having fog lights (I've never really needed fog lights anyway!)?I think you'd have to make something to work in place of the fog lights, and install them for track use, but revert back to stock for normal street use.

My opinion is if you are not driving it on a track, the you shouldn't need the added cooling. If you drive the twisty roads, and back roads enough to warrant needing this, then run them. You will pick up a lot of debris from normal roads, than you would from a track(unless you go off...), so I would not recommend them for street driving. Upgraded brake rotors and pads first, but never run race pads on the street, as they will not get up to temperature like that on a track. Just don't do it.Maybe a dumb question...

In this kit there are some kind of blocking plates for daily-driving your car... why? Can't I have cool brakes on a daily too?
