OK, did a quick search and didn't find anything but has anyone else use the Honed Brake Air guide kit which serves as a bolt on alternative to proper brake ducting? In what was likely a mid-winter effected decision I bought these things and just remembered I had them. Burned through my G-Loc R10 pads quicker than I anticipated so thought about putting them on.
I'll put up some installation pictures shortly. Did some testing with a leaf blower as a wind source and it definitely redirected air. Guessing I'll have to cut a bit of the dust shield to make sure the air hits the rotor directly.

Those brake cooling air guides should work just fine though I would cut off the dust shield to allow a clear path for the air to the rotor. Porsche has been using them forever along with Mitsubishi on the Evo. Corvette and Camarao have them. There are aftermarket ones for the GTR based on this concept. I modified the concept a little bit in making my own brake ducts: Project S2000 - Track Testing Upgrades and Custom Brake Ducts
I couldn't tell from the pictures on their website but do the guides direct the air towards the center of the rotor to go through the cooling vanes or just the inside face of the rotor?

There is a bit of maneuverability to the setup but as I left it last night it was pointed more at the face. I was thinking to add some spacers behind the scoops to alter where it's pointed. There's some holes already in the shield by the center of the rotor was going to aim at to be lazy and avoid cutting but could not get it to aim that way.

ok. Do you think you'd be able to get them to point at the center?
I don't think without doing some of my own engineering going to try again tonight and post some pics.
gotcha. If you could get pictures that would be great. Are they too far back/forwards and/or up/down?
from the pictures they have it seems like the center of the rotor is further back than the guide
Here's a pic. The wrench shows a direct line from the air guide to the rotor dust shield as it's installed and believe close to how it's "supposed to be". Again tonight I used a leaf blower as a wind source and my hand to feel where the air disperses off of the guide and it covers a decent sized area on the dust shield even getting air in to those three little holes which I believe are right by the center of the rotor. I'm tempted to do a comparison with / without at my next track event and measure post lapping brake temps. S2000 Honed air guides
