The basic idea is to get as much air to the brakes as possible. Not many other ways to do it other than ducting it from the front of the car. To be more effective, the air should be ducted into the veins of the rotor. Something like this:

Just to add some info,there are 99 spec wheel wells that align with the 99 spec air guides.Basicaly they are the same with the 93-95's but have 2 huge openings to guide the air into the brakes.The 93-95's dont have it,but you can use a razor blade to make the openings-otherwise the air is blocked by the wheel well.

Where can you beuy 99 spec fender liners? Mine are hacked up. Anybody fit the brake/cooler ducts to the 93-95 fenderliner? Did you just drill a couple holes to attach the back ends of the ducts? Thanks.

99 lip and brake ducts fit with little trouble on 93-95 bumper w/ org oil cooler ducts. just two bolt holes dont line up easy fix. and little twist to lip i think, been a long time since I did it; I also used 99 undertray as I had trashed my orginal. Plus minor cuting of wheel well liners as above.
