Default Help from Z06 Guys...

I'm about to install Z06 brake ducts on my vert. I have the template, but I want to verify the location measurements so that I have scoops properly located before I cut. Can one the Z06 guys make the measurements as shown in the following pic? (I borrowed the pic from Glennm27's intall guide):



Thanks in advance,
Dave

This help? Measurement to the curve was about 9/16" the camera wasn't quite square to the scale to be able to read it right.

Ewww, maybe shouldn't have done that. Y'all can see that I actually drive the car and am not really **** about keeping it spotless. Oh, well.

Well, its close. The color is LeMans Blue. The car is an '04 Z06 Z16.

I was wanting to take a few pics of the badges and went ahead and got your shots while I was add it. Glad to be of some help.

Please check the dimension to the curve again. I apparently can't read a scale. I originally said 11/16. It really is 9/16 to the edge of the rocker panel.
