I purchased one off of eBay that came pre-painted and with 3M tape to install. The fit was not bad but if you looked close, you could see the tape under the spoiler. What I did not like was how wide the spoiler was. It looked too short. I did sell the eBay one and installed a C7 Carbon ZR1 spoiler in carbon fiber which fit almost perfect. That one I drilled the mounting holes and bolted it down. I also installed the C7 Carbon ZR1 side skirts at the same time.

Nice pictures.
I have been considering on as well. The wide one looks much better.

I've had many bad experiences with Ebay, I suggest get one from a dealer, they usually come with a warranty. I know extremedimensions.com has the how zr1 body kit with carbon fiber or fiber glass, I know for a fact with their carbon fiber they have a year warranty, also call them and ask about the part, they typically give you discount just for calling. I got 300 off on a CF hood which I got for 900 out the door shipping and handling when the original price was about 1000 before shipping and handling.

Not any real close-ups, and the prev owner damaged the middle, I sanded out as much as I could and then re-cleared it with automotive clear. I also added some epoxy under the damaged area to better stiffen it. It looks a lot better but you can still see some damage.

I like that! I don't think I've seen it before either. Where can I find one?

West Coast Corvettes sells all 3 pieces...as do many others I'm sure. All are Carbon Fiber on my Z, some sell them in urethane etc....

Please ask your question in your own thread instead of bringing back an eight month old thread or simply ask the vendor.
