ET,

Let me start off by saying that your looks FREAKIN HOT... that looks sooooo good. Almost makes me want to buy a coupe.

Second, are your ducts the same set that was mentioned before? If they are, for being in the bodyshop business, I have to admit that I'm embarassed for not having the foresight to see how good they look when done. After years of putting on ground effects, spoilers, modifying fiberglass, I can usually look at something as see what others don't.

The side intake ductwork (fiberglass rockers) look great... like they belong.

Thanks for everyone's opinion, I'm still going to look into it, just not going to spend 800+ for that kit... may be forced to go factory.

Do it! They look good on all body styles...and even better painted! I have mine protected by 3M film and you cannot see this stuff unless you are literally inches away.

Body shop said it would take them about ten hours to mold in and paint etc.. it took me 20 hours.. but it was the first time I did body work but I do have gifted hands.. I wanted to try to do some body work myself and i figured If I screwed it up I would just pay someone to fix it..
The body shop wanted to hire me when they saw them...

As long as the items added are functional unlike the stick on rear brake ducts then you are a poser. If you put Z06 badges on a coupe then you are a poser

Now a forum member with forum name "18 wit a vette" then you are a troll

I have seen some that do not look identical to the Z06's,maybe you could get a set that matches your car-that would be sweet
