Default Front break cooling set up

Did my 1st oil change the other day and was down in the pit looking over the underside of 06 C6. On both the left and right side of the
fascia their were black plastic (cups for lack of a better name) that are
about 5" in dia. by 4" long. In the center of this cup is a hole probably
1"+ in dia.

These holes are facing toward the front wheel areas. Questiom: Am I missing a hose that should go in that hole and lead back to the front brake areas or are these HOLES the cooling device for the brakes?

I have read other msgs here about the hose/tubes not being connected.

Nope no hoses... I know of at least one kit (Doug Rippie) that installs hoses if you really want them.
