Default Brake Scoop Install Complete
I wanted to change the looks of the 98 by adding a front spoiler and brake scoops. I wanted the brake scoops to look as if they were part of the car and not an add on so I flushed them in with fiberglass.

It was a little intimidating cutting a hole in the car but overall not a difficult mod.

Thought I would share a few picture with everyone.

Very nice job! They came out great.

I'd love to put the Z06 screens on my coupe, but I just don't have the nerve to cut into the body of a Corvette.

The way I looked at it was if I screwed it up, the body shop could fix it.

Give it a try!!

Are those from a Z06 or ACI. They seem to blend into the vehicle nicer then the Z06 model

This is the ACI scoop. It is designed to show a lip similar to the Z06. You can leave it with the lip or blend it in with fiberglass and a lot of sanding

Do the ACI scoops come with the duck work to go into the inner fender?
