I guess you could say it's like BSM, some like them and others think the smoothe look is better. Bottom line is it's his decision and his car. I still think no BSM and no ducts look best

No, I purchsed the ducts with the intent to install them, but then I just couldn't see myself cutting up my car. If that panel were easily replaceable I would have purchased the body panel as well, but it's not.

And if this thread is pointless to you, then kindly stay the hell out of it.

I added them, not for the z06 look but because they do work and before I had my Carbon brakes put on I did notice they help cut down on brake dust. If that helps.

Jeez,,who pee'd in your kool-aid!! I do believe that most folks know that FRC's are not going to be rolling across the Barrette-Jackson stage in the foreseeable future.More the idea that #1 it is NOT a Z06,,why cut it up and make it look like a fake Z. #2 It IS kinda cool having a car that is just a little different the way it is. I DO appreciate the fact that there are not a lot of them,,and enjoy that fact. You can add big motor,,supercharger/turbo,gears and what ever,,but it still is and looks like an FRC. I only expressed my opinion that the ducts just make it look like a fake Z06. I did not attack the OP. He asked for and I gave an opinion,,and points to ponder before cutting into a somewhat unique car. I figure with the prices nowadays,,if you want a Z,,,buy a Z!!

well put !

Thanks bud.

I have a Torch Red FRC. I recently bought the whole rear brake duct kit. I don't have the guts to do it myself. I'm having a body shop do it. I just think they look good on FRC's too. I have the front screens and I'm getting Z51 emblems soon too. I really wanted a ZO6 but could not afford it when I bought my car. Since I have a family, trading up for a ZO6 is not an option for me. So I figured to give it the look I do the rear ducts and Z51 emblems NOT ZO6 emblems that would be a poser the way I see it. In ur case it's ur car so do what u feel is best for u.

Your replies certainly are pointless..... That's for sure.

NOW, let's see if you come back in here to this "pointless thread" If you do, let us know why you've returned....

I think the rear Z06 brake ducts look great - especially on coupes. Am having the full working duct setup installed on my black '99 coupe today. Can't wait.

like the look on verts too......

In down the street in Leon Valley with a white 99 FRC. I think the scoop and ducts are 99% looks, 1% functionality...and I like the looks and smooth simplicity of the FRCs. I would say leave it alone. I have to leave mine alone as it's a one of a kind ANTARCTIC white.

Nice !

And since you're down the street, why is it i've never seen your car around ?

Please don't tell me it's a 'garage queen'.

We need to meet up some time and shoot the breeze.

99 VET

Hey it's your vette. I own a '99 FRC & I would not do that mod but again it's your baby. As pointed out the FRC was only produced two yrs 1999 & 2000. Enjoy yours whichever way you go...

Sinister-one

it's staying as is.

I think they look good on verts and coupes too!!They look good on Z06's as well,,IMO it just spoils the distinction of an FRC. It is the LACK of the little badges and the ducts that set it apart from the Z !! Just my opinion,,and I'm old enough (and mature enough) to know that my opinion and a few bucks will get me a cup of coffee!! I t is a free country,,and on can do as they wish with their car. Hell,,even Sinister can ask for opinions ,,and use them to make up or change his mind!! Again,,,IMO this thread was NOT pointless,,a LOT of opinions were expressed,,,and I found it entertaining to read them!! These are the main purposes of the forum,,,a place to seek help,,get opinions,,give opinions,,and get information!!! This is all a form of entertainment!! Even Joshua is entitled to his opinion,,even if it is kind of negative!! Ok,Ok,,putting the soap box away!! Have a good day all!!

Don't do it. Only thing I did to my 99 was BSM removal, looks much cleaner.

Great points ! And thank you very much for your input !
