To duct or not to duct

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

Then what's the point of keeping the body stock (plain jane) if the entire car is going to be modded anyway? At that point it's not a low mile unmolested car... so it's not the pick-of-the-litter a million years from now anyways when it might be worth a dime not counting all the inflation.
I'm just suprised (actually I'm not) at the hypocritical nature playing into other's hands... guys say to leave it stock (don't cut) when you're totally modding the car anyway... and then YOU yourself bought the parts and now are selling them just because some others said it looks good as a plain jane.
This whole thread is pointless.

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

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....

Scoops & Ducts
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.

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.

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...

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!!
