Do you mean: "Can I put a non convertible spoiler on a convertible" if so than the short answer is yes, in fact I am putting a 91-92 Z28 hi rise spoiler on my car, however it isn't a simple bolt in modification and will need to have a lot of body work done to make the modifications work.

i think hes asking: " can i put a vert spoiler on a non vert?"....... a convertible spoiler on a coupe.



i think it could be done, however it will need alot of body work and i dont know how the ends will line up...

i DO know that the vert spoiler center section is diffrent then the coupe.. thats all.

you are right, Mr. Diabolical,

I want my firebird looks like vette in the rear, there is no convertible 3 gen in Taiwan, so I can't get the spoiler either, if I have to buy from oversea, I want to make sure it could works and looks good!

umm you do realize that if you dont have a vert, that side molding will run down the side of your quater pannel right? IMO it will look like crap.

that molding goes directly over where they cut the car to make it a convertible.

so you cant put it on a coupe...the roof and sides behind the driver, and the glass would be in the way.

perhaps this will help: http://josh.swoca.net/board/mrdude/Vertpics/IMG11.jpg
