@Mirza Grebovic does this look right for a 5BW with CCBs? There were no extra brake parts in the trunk and the dealer claims they installed everything that came with the car but I see no rear brake ducting.
Brake ducts missing?

Look under the cover in the trunk. They will fit there and that would explain the mystery.
I checking, not there but thanks.

@Mirza Grebovic - my dealer installed the extra brake venting for track use ... should I have them removed for street driving?

My dealer did install these rear ones, should I have them remove them? I would its simple enough.

TL;DR - I think yours looks like @sandstrs (at least on the fronts) and therefore looks right. No extra ducts for rear CCBs.

Thats all correct. Carbon brakes dont come with the optional rear cooling.

They are so much more capable temperature wise and also you do not want to throw stones/rocks onto ceramic discs.
Thanks @Mirza Grebovic for clarifying.

Just reviving this.....my dealer put a bunch of stuff in my trunk (including black mirror covers they were supposed to install)...any idea what this is? I am assuming only for track use? looks like control arm covers.

According to the manual...ball joint protector shields, and rear cooling deflectors. Not sure what the small plastic pieces are for, but there are also supposed to be directions provided. I am trying to get these parts from my dealer, since they didn't come with my car (but were supposed to).

Thanks! I guess I should look more closely at the manual
. I am surprised they gave me those pieces since I have CCBs and those don't require additional cooling aids apparently.Daijoubu

Well, now I know where MY parts are, haha. @Mirza Grebovic , I think the factory has the need for the brake cooling parts backwards.Thanks! I guess I should look more closely at the manual

On another note...is there supposed to be anything under the trunk cover? Mine has a bunch of open/empty spaces with nothing in it.

That's how mine looks, but there should be a tow hook and small fuel funnel in there as well. I threw the spring spacers in there. Had to go hunting at the dealership for those, too. They finally found some, but they were yellow. They should be RED, (yellow is for CT4, red is for CT5) and they found those after I left, so I will pick them up eventually.
