Default front brake ducts?
When I was painting the rotor hats and cooling vanes I noticed the rear brakes have cooling ducts that feed air to the rotor, but the front brakes didn't. On the inside of the front fender well there was just an about 2" diameter piece about 1" long. Is something missing?

Thanks,
Mike

That is normal for a base car, only the Z06 & ZR1 have more ducting (stock)

I added these Z06 ducts to my 2005 Z51. This is work in progress. I cleaned up the area before I reinstalled the tires.

My 05 has large holes, about 5-6", with a duct tube attached that leads to the front grill area.

Not true! The GS's have the front and rear brake ducts too!
