I really like it. The front lip will tie in my black center Cray wheels, tinted windows and rear spoiler on my spiral gray car. The rear spoiler was a little tough to mount perfectly. I ended up using 3M double sided tape, lining it up with several "guides" I taped to the car to get in on straight and finished it by using 4 screws through the tail light openings up through the under section into the bottom of the spoiler. After I'm done mounting the lip, I'll take a full car picture, now that I know how to post pictures. No one in my circle of Vettes here in San Diego have this rear spoiler so it makes mine a little different than all the others.

The manufacturer needs to fix this and perhaps add the pre-drilled holes/hardware. Even if they have to increase the production cost to do so and raise the retail cost $50 to cover the expense. This should be bolt on/plug & play. Very nice write up and pics. Thanks!
I'm a little concerned with how far back the spoiler goes back as it seems to cover a lot of the original open air flow box. It seems as though by looking at the pictures, there is only about 1" between the back lip of the splitter and the OEM flex spoiler which is designed to push air up into the intake. Or does the front opening in the splitter supposed to direct the air up instead?
In the end, it looks great!
BTW - you might want to get a set of Fangs.

I wouldn't think so especially if others are not experiencing higher temps. It would be simple to cut some off if the area from the lip to air dam is close, but I don't know, thats weird.
