Default secondary brake ducting - got pictures?

i rememeber someone mentioning secondary brake cooling system that channels the air from under the car towards the caliper, in addition to the one that feeds the air into the spindle mount from the opening in the front of the car through the DRM ducting (C5)

I am interested in trying this out - does anyone have pictures of such setup? I know some Porsches use similar setup - feeding the air from under the car towards the brakes, but I have never seen such setup in person.

Porsche uses a type of scoop on the a-arm to direct air upward. A Viper vendor also sells a similar product. I bought the scoops from Porsche but never solved how to mount them half way easy.
