Default SS wing to Z29

Does anyone know if the Stock SS wing is hollow so that it could be converted to look like the Z29 wing from Mecham?

If you do it, will you do the work yourself? I can't imagine having the guts to go hacking away away at a perfectly good SS spoiler. But I'd love to see it done.

I was going to say the same thing, isnt the only difference from the 96-97 wing to this Meacham one the tail light? Ive actually been looking for a LT1 SS wing but they are insanely priced, $400!

That's basically the difference. I think the 'flip' on the Mecham is a little more pronounced.

If you think that's an insane price, don't call Mecham. I just bought one and they ain't cheap; but the quality is excellent.

BTW, that bottom one is the ASCD version of the '96-'97, I think.

http://www.spoilerdepot.com/Catalog.asp? I'd cut up one of these before I would try to cut up a stock ss spoiler. it has to be painted on anyway.
