Yeah, I might do that. It sounds pretty easy...although, if I'm gonna go through all the trouble of getting the OEM bumper removed to put in the OEM brake ducts, might just spring for the correct OEM fender liners. They don't look too expensive.

What?!? That's crazy. I wonder if they just made a mistake or what. Anyway, how'd you know "where the hole would be?" Could you feel the duct hitting against the fender liner or something?

And, incidentally, I guess even with the factory cutouts, the duct isn't secured to the liner in any way? It just sort of lines up?
