Two fast question about the vert:

1. Does the wing spoiler fit on the vert? I don't mean the Z51 spoiler, I am talking about the wing spoiler.

2. Where is that magic fuse #37 for the radar detector located? I know it is under the rear carpet on the coupe, but no one has ever mentioned where to find it on the vert...

Thanks...

Fuse #37 is in the same place on the vert - in the trunk in the fuse box just to the left of the battery. Access is really very easy.

Don't know about the spoiler.

Silverblue,

I requested pictures of a wing spoiler on a 'vert. No responses.

I'd sure like to see what it would look like. I almost bought a coupe that had the wing spoiler. It enhanced the back end look.

On the 'vert, I'm wondering where it would be positioned in the rear view mirror. It's already limited to showing me from the windshield up on cars behind me.

Hope someone chimes in with a picture!

Ed

Looking at the photo above, one would think it would attach the same way on the vert. Personally I think it would be cooool...

Sorry,

To answer the original question... yes it will fit IF you don't have a Z51 spoiler on there now. Seems like some of the mounting holes for the Z51 spoiler are not covered up when you mount the wing spoiler!

Requires drilling holes, and removing the back end of the car to access the bolts that are needed to hold the spoiler in place. Same install for Coupe or 'Vert.

Available from forum vendors or at your local Chevy dealer!
