I must say, besides the yellow wide body, the Germans do awesome work. You really have to admire them.

After reading this thread, I FEEL my abject modification poverty.
I'm absolutely impecunious in comparison to you guys... Maybe ET will adopt me and lead me to the Promised Modding Land.....
Awesome cars.

staying on topic... uh.. scoops...
And DAAANG, GB, that is the best looking engine bay I have ever seen on a C5! Now you've got me trying to think of what mine would look like all chromed with white trim and ghosted
Incredible work.

Welcome to the forum
They appear to be cheap black plastic glued onto the side of the car.
Captain Pompous up there , although quite nasty at times in hilarious manner , has the only rear brake side scoops ive ever liked. In my opinion he has one of the best looking cars on the forum.
If I were to entertain the thought of putting rear brake ducts on my car the only ones id consider would be exactly like Captain Pompous'

Not much good if they are not functional. IMO your brake ducts are still the nicest ones I have seen on a C5.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG!!!!!
The scoops on the blue car are functional as oil cooler on one side and gear box cooler on the other side. BTW there are Callaway mods in the engine bay that afford these functional coolers.
Mine on the silver car are not yet functional, but can be opened easily if I want to.

But let´s stop it here.
Fact is: the scoops are open for air, what you put behind it is your choice, i.e. air duct or oil cooler.
