Aftermarket cooling kits are also available but they run for ~$500 so might be the next step if the GT3 ducts won't be enough
If anyone wants to go a step further the M2CS Racing has OEM ducts coming out of the front bumper.

It is possible to remove heat shield completely w/o damages to the suspension component.In order to do that there is one tie rod which needs to be protected from the heat as it sits very close to the brake disc. Good news you can buy aluminium sheet and cut a small aluminium plate 4"x4" and bolt it to hub using the same screw used to hold the heat shield. I can post a picture later as my car is not a home now.
