Brake cooling kit

Has anyone looked into a brake cooling kit for the Titan? I am getting all the parts together to make one for mine. It's pretty simple really. Since I don't have fogs, I'll use the fog light holes and run som high-heat duct toward the spindle of the front wheels. This will allow for cool air to blow into the rotors, which will aid in cooling the brakes down.

Here's a kit for the C6 Vette.

I'll do a very cheap job at first. If there is a notable difference, I'll put together a more permanent/asthetic kit using carbon fiber and silicone duct.

Any thoughts?

Can't wait to see pix. Sounds like a cool setup, and I have an XE w/o fogs if it works for ya. Any way you can do a controlled test to see if it works?
Stop from 60-0 like 3 times and get a brake temp, then do it after the kit?
Using an infrared thermometer would be ideal, but there is probably something cheap that you could do. As long as your test parameters arecontrolled, you don't need exact temperatures, just that brakes are noticably cooler with the ducting.

Looking forward to this one!
