Default question about LeMans Edition

My coupe has the stock Z06 screens in front. My question is; are they functional? Do they allow air to pass through to the air box or radiator?
Thanks.
Glen

Don't think so, unless it has been modified. Stock, the Z06s I believe were functional. Coupes and verts have lights there when stock.

Its possible. Shine a flashlight in there. Many owners drilled holes in the fog lamp housing to get more air into the engine area. Mines just cosmetic

You wont see any real improvement unless you fit a system such as the Vararam though.
