Rear Spoiler
I am thinking of adding a rear spoiler on my 01 Torch Red coupe. I was wondering if anybody has any of these three. Carravagio, ACI or the SLP. How is the fir and finish?

I have the Caravaggio, fit and finish are great. It was on the car when I got it but part of it was lifting up (probably poor prep from whoever installed it) so I took it off. The car looked good with it off so now it is wrapped up sitting in the back of the Vette Barn. I'm getting an ACI chin spoiler soon so I'm going to wait until that's on to see how the Caravaggio looks on the car again.
If you have concerns about the tape holding it on don't worry, I thought the spoiler was going to snap in half before I actually got it off the car.

I have the ACI. Fit is good, and the finish is spot on. Got mine from RPI when they had a sale last winter. Right now Autobuffs has a great sale going on the Caravagios.

In addition to the above example (a dupe of the SLP), ACI also makes a style similar to the Caravaggio, but besides tape, also calls for drilling holes and bolting it into place (a deal-breaker for some).
It looks like this: Of those three, the Caravaggio is the best in overall appearance IMO, but I still hate the fact it crosses over a factory panel seam. |

For the OP, here are a couple of rearview shots of the Caravaggio... (first shot by a pro so I'm pretty sure it was digitally enhanced) Last edited by 4GTABODT; 01-27-2010 at 10:09pm. |

That is if you have a seam

Gary what the hell are you doing now?! Molding the whole car together?
As for the spoiler... not a big fan of them, but the Caravaggio looks the best. After that I'd pony up for the Specter Werks rear bumper w/ the subtle lip spoiler molded in. |
