I wouldn't mind having a Caravaggio spoiler, to go with my Caravaggio hood, but by the time you add shipping costs, that spoiler would cost me around $700. For a little more, I can get a complete Tigershark rear bumper, with integrated spoiler. Just have to wait another month or so.
The TS is my first choice but right now, the Caravaggio is a solid #2.

What wheels are those and what are the sizes? Just got a 99 FRC in all black and really liking how yours looks!

They make more extreme versions now, on the fence on whether they fit the FRC as well as this little one does. Now if I could find a decent lip at a decent price.

Here is mine. I just picked it up two weeks ago. Based on this thread, the rear spoiler looks like a Caravaggio but I can't say for sure. It does look good and fits well. Finish is very nice.

Installed the spoilerkings rear spoiler on the car last weekend. Very simple easy to do. I prefer the looks of something simpler and this fit the bill for me.

Cool looking spoiler!
Is this tied down by tape or by nuts/bolts?

It's always been on a list somewhere and, since I just finished recovering the seats, it seemed like it was finally time to address the rear end.

I know rear wings aren't everyone's idea of a design statement but I picked this one up from Corvette Central. It's a bummer that you used to be able to get these painted from the manufacturer but that isn't an option anymore so it was a bit pricey to get it prepped/finished and I ended up doing the install myself (only required 5 - 1/4 holes drilled for installation and it wasn't nearly as traumatic as some people think) but I'm super happy with my result.

Even after over 19 years, I could sit and look at this car all day long (although I'd rather be driving it )

Re: ed1le: I believe that is an ACI spoiler, see how it is concave VS the Caravaggio.

Good to know, I’ll have to compare the two but I see what you mean. Thx!

I emailed Caravaggio over a week ago, inquiring about the possible purchase of a rear spoiler, and still haven't received a reply.
It sometimes seems like 50% of the Corvette aftermarket doesn't really care whether they sell anything or not.

Especially for the C5 stuff. Which makes no sense considering they are still driven and bought and sold regularly

Do you have any issues with opening the trunk?

About half the time you hit the trunk button on the dash, it won't pop up enough to clear the latch, and will recapture the hatches latch hook. Other than that, no problems
