hi rise wing for 91 convertible Z

i have been thinking about custom fitting a hi rise wing from a 1991 z-28 on my 91 z-28 convertible. before you tell me its impossible...well...just dont do that, lol.i know it's gonna take considerable grinding and some innovative fiberglass work, but im capable of both. i'm curious though, has anyone else ever wanted to do this or tried it? just as a test i set the wing off a friends car on top of my wing to see if i liked it....wow did chevrolet miss the boat on this one. it really looks good. but most of that could probably be attributed to the fact that ive never seen one before. any opinions would be greatly appreciated. my car is in the readers rides under mcfly89 if any are interested in taking a peek.

I've always felt that they should have kept the low-rise spoiler on the coupes and put the high-rise spoiler on the verts.

I Love the high rise on the Verts, I cant tell for sure from the pics
are they hacking on the spoiler or the side pieces to get it to fit right ?

I want to do do this on my vert so if anyone know's please let me know.
