Intercooler, radiator and oil cooler ducting

I have 99spec bumper with large m2 smic, fluidyne rad and sakebomb track oil cooler and I'm looking for ducting ideas. I remember coming across some awesome duct job but can't seem to find them. Show me your duct job!

Here's mine, also using the SakeBomb Garage dual oil cooler kit and have a SMIC.

Driver's side duct installed:


SMIC scoop (looks warped because of edge molding...its straight). Ignore the cracked bumper :


I also have a shine carbon fiber 3-piece under tray. The ducting for the radiator is attached to the center piece of the tray, so the sides can be removed without taking off the center section. I still need to take good photos of that...

I made oil cooler ducts by buying blocks of carving foam, trimming and shaving to shape, and painting as a buck, then rapped them with fiberglass-impregnated cloth used for making casts—got it at a medical supply web site. You just wet it, then you've got a few minutes before it hardens.

Theorie - looking good I plan to extend the smic ducting as well to get catch more air. I can't wait to duct everything!
