Actually the car was supposed to have brake ducts. What happened was when they put the air conditioning hoses the hoses blocked the right front duct so instead of making them functional they just blocked them off. As they were on such a time crunch.
you can however do some rerouting and make them functional which is what I chose to do. Also keeps your front wheels cleaner!
quite a few people have just removed those little backing plates for additional cooling which I think it’s a better idea than having them blocked off.
