I know some members on the Forum have the stick on so no disrespect intended, however; IMHO don't do it. Go with the functional setup. I bought mine for looks more than function and never considered the stick ons. Just my 2 cents.

If you like "boob jobs", you will love them. They may get someone to turn their head, but after all is said and done you are just squeezing water balloons. 
Even the real ones look like an after-thought (which they most likely were), but if you are going to the track and need additional cooling, looks better than just drilling a big unfinished circular hole in the side!

What's wrong with water balloons ? ?I'm not a fan of the fake scoops. I don't even like them on anything other than a Z06.

I think the real scoops should have been put on all C5's personally....if that's what makes a ZO6 then yikes. We all Know the real differences in a Zo6 and it not just scoops that bring air to the rear brakes. As far as the fakes....I'd stay away if it was me.

Obviously it's your money so you can spend it how you like, but IMO, the stick on ducts are pretty tacky. I know cutting into the rocker panels to install the real deal is not for everyone, but that would be the way I would go if you want rear brake ducts on the car.
Those stick ons are kinda of a joke IMO, if you like the look, go for the gusto and install the real deal, that's what thier made for.

BEFORE
I cut the ducts in on my 99FRC I had years ago. When I was looking at this car before I bought it, I knew these were going to be pulled off after the BSM's. Take the time and get the real ones. Good luck
