I am thinking more of a tube from the front fascia.

I should have them soon. I'll take plenty of pics when I install them. I will probably install that same 14" Stoptech as well.

Default I've ducted my fronts

I got 2 - 21/2" NACA ducts and mounted them to the lower engine cover shroud. I had a small shop weld a 21/2" pipe about 4" long to a multi-punch strap which I bolted to the turn stop on each front wheel. They angled the pipe and deformed one end so that it directed air to the center of the rotor. Removing the dust disks and attaching 21/2" ducting to the Naca ducts and these fabricated pieces I've got a pretty nice set up for cooling my front brakes. I've run 5 different schools this season and only used 1 set of Carbotech XP pads. I also changed fluid to Super Blue.
