ZO6 Rear Brake Vent Question
I own a 2000 FRC. I have always liked the looks of the rear brake ducts on a ZO6. Can you just install the outside screen part(the part you see) and not install the ducts? I am in this for the looks. I saw the stick on kind, and dont really like the look of those. I know I will get flamed for not making them functional, but hey, I gotta ask!

Sure you can install just the outside screen portion of the brake ducts without actually installing the ductwork back to the wheel area. But you will get water into the inner fender/rocker panel area that wouldn't be there if the ductwork was in place. And the only other mod you need to do to install the duct work is cut the fender liner to run the ductwork from the screen portion to the rear wheels.
