Mods look good. Did you bolt on the spoiler or use double sided tape?

I ended up bolting it on, but you could use a thick double sided tape pretty easy. The bottom is a little concave.

I think its hard for convertibles to pull off a spoiler, but the ZR1 spoiler is my favorite!

Put one on my coupe. Bolted mine on. Love it. My friend has a black convertible just like yours. He liked my spoiler so much that he is going to get one.

And the flared rear fenders as well. Yellow calipers would really be nice as well.

Still on the fence about that spoiler. I guess I would have to see in person. Doesn't look over the top which is good
