Hood scoops

I know it's a C6, but anyone know where I can get some super cool hood scoops like this for my C5?

Maybe it's just me, but the scoops on this vette really compliment the custom paint job.

You could go the the big box stores and buy some dryer vents to put on. LOL. Thoses are fruggly.

Agreed.. ugly, plus I dont believe in scoops that are not functional. Hence why I had to do the real Z06 ducts instead of slap ons on my C5. Mustangs come with fake hood scoops from the factory

. Not cool IMO.

Wow, that thing looks like it was painted with a roller and truck bed liner material. What a waist. I'm saying NO to the scoops too. I'm pretty sure, and hoping, you're joking about them.

I think you can get roof vents from any RV store.

My brother and I did a rattlecan two tone job right over the rust on my 49 Ford Pickup when we were in high school.

What's the problem , you can't hurt the looks of a C6 any more than the factory did ?

And now there is the C7
