If you really want to do it you will need to modify the base and try to mount it lower on the hatch than you currently have it.

while i appreciate trying something different, it kinda looks like a generic universal spoiler off of ebay. needs to be a little lower and wider imo.
but when sanded, painted and installed it might turn out alright.

No go. Like others have said, it doesn't flow.

Different is frowned upon around here and your forum popularity will suffer for it. Conformity or BAN!

It's pretty obvious. Doesn't flow at all. Bad bad bad.

Just a little update. I'm still playing around with this to see if I can make it work. If not, that's ok, I like playing with my Z I also snipped my stock antenna, looks much better.

Yes sir, but I haven't notice any loss of reception. Then again, I don't use the radio very often.

I still think you need to mount it lower on the hatch or it's going to look funny.

I think this is about as low as I can get it without making a bunch of extra work.
Update, I filled in the holes and shaved more of the base, and did some test fitting on my vis bumper. It's going to take me a few hours worth of work, but for $325 shipped I don't mind

Just an update. I finally got my Z back from the shop with the new rear bumper and wing. It's a VIS Chargespeed rep, but I had to do a ton of work to mine to get it to fit right. It took me about a week as I'm very **** and I learned how to use fiberglass and bondo in the process. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out,
sorry, crappy phone pic
