Default I'm So Nervous!!!!

Came home to find a big box on the front porch. My Z06 rear brake ducts from Beans are in.

I got them templates from Robin here on the forum - thanks Robin - but that's really not going to make it any easier to make that first cut in the rocker panel. I know the ducts are going to look great on the Arctic White vert but this has got to be the most trepidatious I've been since choosing a cam.

Wish me luck...and a steady hand. Pics to come when it's done.

I've had mine for about 4 months and I haven't worked up the nerve to cut it yet!

I know of 3 people who have had to replace their entire rocker panel because the cut they made was only an eighth of an inch off.
