Default Brake cooling ducts? What are my options

I have C6Z06 and I did one track day so far and completely roasted my Willwood 600+ brake fluid and ate up my front pads. Well while I am in there swapping pads and fluid I figured I would add a brake cooling kit.

Any suggestions or is the Quantum kit the only way to go?

I have a coupe.....converted my foglights to ram air ducting. Seen here:

Mine is definitely done cheaper than this Z06 guy.
Someone did a Z06 here, which is what i used for inspiration:

Yeah I saw the Z06 duct thread but I drive my car on the street and like the foglights. If I could find a cheap set of busted foglights then I would consider doing the mod and just switching back and forth.

I've had my Corvette for over a year and never used the foglights....I don't drive it in crappy weather, unless I get caught in it.

Daily driving I just put black duct tape over the screens, and it looks fine.

I would routinely exceed 650C at VIR & GY OEMs with just the Quantum cooling kit. With the Katech splitter, brake ducts and undertray, I no longer exceed 550C, even on Hoosiers.
