Has anyone put cooling ducts to the rotors on X308s?

4000 lbs of repeated hard braking needs a little cooling help.

2 piece rotors do slightly reduce your fade resistance by offering less thermal mass, but they are superior in every other measure by reducing unsprung AND rotational mass (the very best kind of weight reduction!) and by transferring FAR less heat into your hubs and consequently your bearings, which greatly reduces stress on the wheel bearings, a known weakness in the X308. Unfortunately, NO ONE makes a 2 piece rotor for the ATE XJR brakes to my knowledge. DBA makes a 5000 series 2 piece rotor for the Brembos however, and in the 14" size, you won't have to worry about the reduction in fade resistance.
I've been contemplating fabbing up some real cooling ducts for my car as well. They made a MASSIVE difference on my 06 Mustang GT out on track days. It went from the brakes being completely faded to mush in 3 laps to it being able to go 10 laps before strong fade set in.

If you ever do, please post. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would pay for some
