Sure is the same style at least as the Caravaggio one.

I assumed it was but other than style I found no identifying marks or branding to confirm. Anyone making knockoffs of the Caravaggio? This one has some cracks in the paint from removal which isn't a big issue since a color change to TR is necessary. Just don't want to spend a bunch of money on an inferior part if that is a possibility.

Corvette Creations has a knock off of the Caravaggio spoiler that's carbon fiber. I'm not sure but does the Caravaggio come in carbon fiber?

Sorry is it painted black or is it carbon fiber? Either way there are knock offs out there

It's definitely painted and based on the underside it is fiberglass.

Hard to say then. Just be aware there are knock offs. I have one on my Vette looks great but doesn't fit great.

I am sure it is a Caravaggio spoiler. I haven't seen any knockoffs that are fiberglass that match correctly. They either point up too much or don't fit the same on the sides. The ACI copy sits more on top of the rear instead of fitting more wrapped around the bumper like the Caravaggio does. If its the real deal you'll know as soon as you lay it on top of the bumper.

BTW, I have one on my car so that's how I based my opinion. It's been off once and reinstalled with no problem so I have experience with it.

I bought a used one and was not sure if it was a real Caravaggio as there was no markings, I laid it on the car and the fit was so good the little bit of left over sticky from the tape made it stick to car. I was sure it was the real deal as I've seen some knockoffs at shows and the fit on some is horrible with huge gaps at the corners.

If it fits well then I would not worry about anything else.

Those have to be the best looking spoiler for the C5 in my opinion. Nice find. I've been eyeballing the parts section for months looking for a used one. One finally showed up and the seller has gone awal! LOL
