go to brake/suspension forum where it talks about new cooling systems with forced induction ball bearing turbo props for brakes in the works.

you are not going to melt the brake pads if you are not tracking or racing down mt washington.

You can remove the black plastic that blocks the 2 side openings in the front bumper. You could then easily use some ducting and route them to the brakes.

That's the easy part. Getting the air into the spindle is the hard part.
