Coupe to Convertible Rear Spoiler Swap
Has anyone here swapped on the rear spoiler on their 2017-18 ZL1 Convertible with one from a 2017-18 ZL1 Coupe.
That ^ is what I am planning - but now I have heard mixed information as to whether it is a compatible swap. Any direct experience would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael |

The radio antenna is in the convertible spoiler. So if you swap, you will lose your radio reception...I'm pretty sure that is what I remember reading. If you never listen to the radio, it would probably be fine!

A few people have removed the SS spoiler. Most people just take the antenna, and secure it in the inner shell of the trunk lid with pads.

Do you know if the spoiler 'stanchions' from the coupe spoiler will then be a direct bolt up to the convertible's trunk. One person said the 3 stanchions on the convertible spoiler and much thicker than the coupes - concerned they might not match up? |

They dont the convertible has a third hole to side for the antenna. (thus the wider stanchion) If you look at my album you will see I added the carbon wing to my car. I did support the antenna in the inner shell and have not have any issues with radio but will be having to fill third holes in

Also, other than the Antenna, whats the diff between a regular ZL1 coupe and Vert spoiler? Not the 1LE spoiler.
