Default modifying extended zr1 c6 spoiler

Well i was gone to go with the zr1 carbon fiber spoiler that fits the c5's but i wasn't 100% set on it.I really was set on the extended version that supervettes had but only available for c6's.I saw c7 had one for the c6 in fiberglass and bought that one.Today i started measureing and figuring out where im gone to modify it to fit the c5 body.I like how it curves at the ends of it and starts to go down the sides of bumper cover.I have a jeep to paint tomorrow but sunday ill start the project and ill post pics while i go.When i get done itll be exactly what i want.

I've often thought about this very same thing. Like you I like the way it goes down the side of the fender. Hope you can get this to work.

Are you going to increase the length of the center section or the higher raised section?

I made another piece of foam that fits inside the spoiler in the middle and fill the gaps at each end.Ill glass it up,Then ill shape it from there.Im trying to keep the same height not lower it any.I forgot its easter so nothing getting done tommorrow.

in primer and bolted on im very happy with the look, im gone to add alittle bit more to drivers side bottom edge after bolting it tight it pulled the bumper to a different shape but no big deal. im having surgery on my elbow and shoulder on the 23rd so i wont be painting it for awhile.

That is exactly what I was looking to see if any of our vendors produced. Looks awesome!! Can't wait to see end result.

Here is mine I just had installed. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Ive always liked the clean look of the back of my car with no spoiler. I guess Ill give it a few days.
