I have a 2003 C5 NOT Z06 and like how the rear brake vents look, are these possible to install on a non Z06? If so whats the process and other than a junk yard where can I find a set of these brake vents?

Cheers!

Yes you can install them on a non Z06. Its actually an easy install.The hard part is to get the nerve to cut into your rocker panel. I used a drill and a dremel tool with a cut-off wheel.I purchased mine from ebay for around $90.It didn't come with a template so I called mid america motorworks and got a template from them.The template is used for cutting the rocker panel and the inner wheel well.

Yes it can be done.
Tom that is a great photo... you need to take a few minutes and upload a some of your photos in our Vette Gallery... looking at your ride makes me want to go out and buy a C5!

Thanks for the kind words. The brakes are Brembo GTs (14" rotors, with Hawk Black pads). Great brakes for track use (rr), not really necessary for the street, but look good.

The wheels in the pic are Iforged which are street/bling wheels. For track use I use CCW Corsairs and R compound tires.
