But if they are the real thing, it is a functional mod. Go for it. I am sure someone here knows where to get the kit.

Z06 Look
I have an 00 coupe and I love the look of the Z06 with the vents for the brakes in front of the rear wheels! What is everyones opinion of adding these to a "non Z06"? Would that be Corvette sacrilege? Where can I find that addition to my car?

2023 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
If you go for the stick ons you'll take a few flames. If the ducts are functional then most seem relaxed about it.
The cutting sounds quite scary. I have a template BTW if you need one. Once thats over, the rest of the fit sounds straight forward. There's a How To out there somewhere if you do a search.
In the end it's your car and mod it to satisfy you not the rest of us.

If you like the look, do it. I did.

It's your ride, do as you will......
Hey, you paid for it, I would think it would be no body's business but yours what you do with it. If you like it, go for it, and post pics afterwards to show us how it looks.

On the front of the wheelwell I put C/6 ZO6 flares.
The rear got C/6 ZO6 flares.
C/5 Z06 screens on the nose.
As long as it doesn't look tacky and goes with the styling of the car, why not? It's not like as if you're trying to pass it off as a Z06.

They are a great addition to any C5. They ARE very functional.
A good place to get them is Fichtner Chevrolet, Laurel MT. They are a Corvetteforum supporting dealer/parts vendor
Then check this out =====> Z06 Rear Brake Scoop & Duct installation
And finally,
