Lightbulb Idea: Front brake Vents via Side reflector Hole

Zaphod 350z did a mesh that goes into the side reflector slot,
my Nismo replica kit also has a mesh there.

i was thinking, why not take it 1 step further, and placing a vent/scoop behind the hole, and direct it to another hole that will be cut inside the fender well, directed toward the inside of the brake caliper/wheel for added cooling.

stock m3s has a port in their front bumper that did the same.

curious if you guys think this a worthwhile idea...

i mean. fender well plastic shouldnt cost allthat much, and creating a wall out of aluminum from Home Depot Racing shouldnt be all that much either..

On the driver's side it might be OK but on the passenger's side the windshield washer tank will be in the way.

have you ever seen a twisted waveguide b4?
you use it to bend RF signals from orientation to another.



if i can get a vertical slot, and twist it to have it go underneath. it might work...
