Default Late to the party... My first attempt at body work











Take note that the front fender cove design has similar angles to these ducts, but in reverse, that I installed in the rear. They look like they actually belong there.

Thanks ET. This helps visually as my car is TR as well. BTW I got your message. I found another thread where he inserted the inlet from inside rather then on top. It sat slightly more flush but they look good either way.

Those look more factory than the OEM Z06 brake ducts. They should have come from the factory like that.

Do they have screens inside?

If you mount the outers from the inside of the rocker, you will have to trim the inner ducts because they will be too long and will not seat properly to the outer ducts.

Mine do not, but you can add screens , or a loaf of bread, or a cheese steak , if you like.
Sorry...

Thanks everyone for the kind words.. it was one of my first mods.. I think I have a photo of them mounted on top of the rocker, before I molded them into the rocker.... let me see if I can find it..



I was pleased my first attempt at body work was successful.

Initially I fitted these on top of the rocker, cut it out using the template, then epoxied them in after paying a body shop 50 dollars to paint both ducts.

Molding them in takes them out of the "stick on add on" and does make them look like they were part of the original design. Great work. I am considering them for my 2000 coupe.
