New Mod {Pics}
Well the weather is finally giving us a break here so I thought I'd actually clean the car for the first time in a month.
I ordered a set of Z06 brake scoops and installed them last night. I didn't bother taking pics of the install since there are plenty here on the forum already.
The install went well, I used a template which is posted here on the forum, a jigsaw with a metal blade for the scoop cut, and the jigsaw/rotozip for cutting the liners.
One interesting thing I found on the install was that on my car (which is a Y2K with a build date of late 99), the pre scribed lines are present. Everything I've read says that the scribed lines are only on the -01 cars and above.
This was a HUGE timesaver as I didn't have to look at pics and try to guess where to cut the liners. Makes me wonder how early in the pipeline the folks at Chevy had planned on these ducts. These 18x11 wheels have no rubbing issues with the ducts.
Anyways, here's some pics of the finished product along with some other new ones since the car is so shiny and was just begging to be photographed.

Nice job on the install. The scoops look very good on your car.

If you want a z06 just buy one it's beyond me why someone would want to make non vette people think they have something they don't.
and btw why do people like those things? I wouldn't want that hunk pf plastic sticking on the side of my vette.
rice rice rice...plain tacky

If you wouldn't like this mod on your car then don't do it. BFD.
Oh wait, you don't even have a C5.
Before calling something 'rice', learn what the terms mean, these ducts are FUNCTIONAL.
Why don't you try not being a fuc*ing *****, noob.
