I passed buying on a nice 99' Nassau Blue coupe because he had them on there, pretty sure they were functional. I am self conscious about that stuff and since I know no coupe can have them, I couldn't live with them on there. Its easier to get away with it on an FRC but a coupe, not gonna happen. At least he didn't put Z06 badges on the car too though.
Sure they can go a coupe, if their intention is to cool the rear brakes. Coupes can auto-x too without being accused of trying to "look like a Z06". The ducts serve a functional purpose which are useful on any C5 trim. If they were just for looking like the Z, then everyone would be using the stick-ons.
If everyone wanted to look like a Z, then I guess everyone should paint their calipers red.
Are you talking about carbon fiber? If so the ones you are talking about are from RKSport. It is just the outside shell though not the whole duct, screen, etc. I will be doing this mod probably next January. There are a few members on here that have already done it and it looks bad a$$. Here is the thread on one member doing them. Carbon Fiber Brake Duct

While those look great, that smooth Carbon Fiber is gonna get pitted and sand blasted to hell. Just my .02.

Sorry but that is just a dumb statement. Many people have put "functional" brake ducts on their non Z06 cars and I am sure they were not trying to pass their cars off as Z06's...

According to the members that have them, they hold up a lot better than the OEM ducts. If I remember correctly, one member has had them over a year and they still look brand new.
