Default C6 Coupe Waterfall

Recently learned that there is a waterfall made for coupes.
Always thought that that was a convertible item only.
A number of vendors sell them.
Looking at two that RPI sells.
“Stage 1” has a flat top and has a smooth face.
”Stage 2” appears to have a more rounded look and has a lip on the bottom.
OEM flag is available for each; disappointed that RPI sells the emblem but does not affix it.
Not a big deal…..OCD is gonna make me loose sleep though worrying that the flag won’t be perfectly placed when I do it! LOL!!
Probably will go with the “Stage 1” version.
Would love to hear what you guys think.

I've thought about getting one. I'd highly suggest you hit up the feedback section and research the vendor before ordering. I ordered parts from them and found the parts to be acceptable but delivered weeks after they were promised.

This is my concern as well.
I have a PM into RPI.
Website says 4-6 weeks.
I want some assurance that I won’t still be looking for the piece 12 weeks later.
If no response, I’ll find another vendor.
I’m sure there are a number of other vendors who offer it.

Just heard from RPI.
Assures me the 6 week time frame is accurate.
I can live with that (4 would be better!).
Going to “take a leap of faith” and order one.
Looking at each version and undecided on which one.

Once you receive it your opinions on the part quality and delivery time accuracy would be appreciated.

I think a product with a GM copyrighted logo has to be officially licensed through GM before can be sold without a cease letter from their lawyers. No big deal to apply yourself.

What you’re saying absolutely makes sense.
Agree - easy to put on.

i like the way they look in convertibles. Not sure how they would look in the coupe.

Where's the link to the product? I'm too lazy to google it and look it up. LMAO.

Checked the status of my order just to be sure nothing was “lost in the translation”.
Happy to say the status says “at paint shop”.
May mean nothing - being the “cockeyed optimist” that I am though, maybe, just maybe I’ll get the piece reasonably soon.

Above are pics of mine, I think the water fall is great addition to a coupe and rarely seen.
Mine came from https://www.scorpionfiberglasscreations.com
you will want some painters tape on the ends when you slide it in or it will
scratch the plastic or at least leave a rub mark

My only question is Why?

In the convert's, the water fall was used as a cover for items behind it,





While in a coupe, nothing is mounted there to be covered up instead.
So you would be better off with a cargo organizer that actual is useful, then just another piece of plastic that does nothing isntead.

everyone has opinions and should do as they please. I personally don't have a use for a cargo organizer and think they look like trash.
