4th gen spoiler mod

Does anyone know if the 2 short center legs are hollow? Thinking of sanding them completely off but I am curious if they are hollow as you get closer to the main body. I saw a blue Z on here that had it done and it looked bad a$$.

And the 93-97 fits, the 98+ doesn't, sort of. It will go on, but the forward wing "feet" & the 2 center supports are angled so it doesn't sit flat.

The one i picked up is a 2000, your rite about the center feet being angled, most people i have read about dont use the center feet, just for looks but not bolted down, i figured i could remove them, the front of the forwards just need a slight trim and then it will sit good.

I thought so too when I got "LS" wing. Being hollow, if you try to trim enough to get it flat like the "LT" wings? You'll end up with no bottom there, which means 2 things.....Trash can or fiberglass work.
