Default Z06 Style Duct on my Coupe

I think they look pretty good. Will be interesting to see how many members don't like these. Took about an hour to install.



I photoshopped CCW's on my car so people quite telling me to buy CCW's

Are those the functional ones? I had them on my '00 coupe and loved the look. I just couldn't do the cutting into the rocker panel and had someone do it for me.

I've got them on my 04 coupe and really like the look. They're functional and are a GM part.

Like the look and nice job there. I added those on my 98 and it wasn't hard at all. Just pulled the tape and stuck it on. Just kidding I cut in the real ones from gm parts.

I bought the ducts, pipes and the rear wheel-wells for my car but changed my mind and sold them. I decided I'm not going to drive my car hard enough to need them and I like the idea of keeping my FRC body true to it's origin. I do think they look especially good on black cars though.

Default Not for me.

I do not like them on any cars, including my Z06. I painted them body color to make them less obnoxious.

They are GM parts.
Took probably an hour in half. I wanted people to think they were stickers.
But... I was amazed how fast they went on. I spent a little to long measuring.

I like my wheels and have not seen another Vette with Foose wheels.
My tires are a joke. I am saving up for new wider tires.

To many Vettes have CCW's, I don't want any of there wheels.
A few of them look great, but I don't want the same car as the next guy.

I like your wheels and agree that the you need wider tires.
I'm on the fence about the vents but much respect for using functional parts.

they are ok, but only the breathless performance ones could convince me to cut into the car.

its a bolt on part and it is a modern car, not a limited production or hard to find car like a copo camaro.
Cut the heck out of it...

I was wrong peeps....
"If you mess up unbolt the lower panel and replace with a new one."
These are glued to the car, so if you suck at fiber glass be careful.

I am not afraid to cut anything on a late model car.

I also think they look OK. And I also love those wheels. Not many C5 owners go with that style, but I like 'em!
