C7 third brake light and spoiler installed
Installed a c7 third brake light and cut and modified a fiberglass c7 spoiler to fit the c5. Still needs some finish work and the old brake light filled it. PS the spoiler's just sitting on the car right now.

The modified fit looks much better on the car, but I'm on the fence as to the overall look. When you get it done, post up some more pics.

Gonna be hard for the driver behind you to miss that third brake light, but............... crazier things have happened!

Great work so far. I would only suggest that you find a way to get the tapered ends to follow the rear bumper edge rather than push forward.

yeah it was too much to taper. And I'll be building plexi add ons like the c7's do

the brake hole is nothing. I wanted to move the license plate up to where the corvette is like the tiger shark bumper but I've got enough to do. Will probably attempt a gt2 style diffuser

yeah that's my favorite angle. I'm still not sure if I like it so right now it's still spoilerless
