Default Pictures of coupes with rear Z06 brake ducts

On my short list of mods is to get the rear Z06 brake ducts installed on my black '99 coupe. I think they look great. They seem to be getting real popular. I'd like to see pictures of the various coupes with these ducts installed.

Cheers, Pete

I'm going with fully functional too. Unfortunately, the install is something I'm not comfortable doing myself. Will go with the GM parts.

Admittedly it does take some nerve to cut a hole in a perfectly good C5. It took me 2 years to finally decide to do it! Mine are fully plumbed and functional GM parts.

Ok stupid question but exactlly does it take to make it "Fully Functional"? Anyone have any step by step install pics or a write up thread on this? I think I'ld like to do this to my car as well. Also about how much coin did the parts run. Sorry for all the questions but this is a mod that I am very interested in. Thanks.

according to the "sticky" info, not much air gets to the brakes, even if "fully functional". i'm still on the fence to purchase or not. fairly certain i don't want the fakes sold on the auction site.
