Default Need a good opinion

Hey guys,

Have been really busy doing exterior work to my car to make t look really killer. i was wonder if the Z06 side scoops that are just stick on look good on the car or are just cheap or dont look that bad--->

if anyone has pictures of how this looks on a Torch red c5 coupe please post.

Thanks

This has been brought up here numerous times before and I don't think you will get many favorable reviews on any of the stick on scoops.

Sometimes less is more.

Most guys here avoid the 'stick-on' syndrome. You should see some of the cars whose owners stick on everything in the catalogs on their poor vettes...and they all started with those fake scoops...

Don't do the stick on scoops - they look just that - stuck on. IMO, if you want the look to be the best, go with the ones that mount like the factory ones.

Honestly, if you want the Z06 look, then buy a Z06. Don't stick on bling bling unless you do it the right way.
