He probably had to do this to make the front edge of the wing line-up with the "winglets" that are mounted on the rear quarters without making that area look funny. Other than the goofy looking overhang at the rear and the slight bend in the line, it looks pretty good to me.
I agree with you. He said that he positioned the spoiler further back, as can be seen in the in progress pics, but he thought it didn't look right, so he moved it back. It can be cut so that it doesn't stick out as far, the owner just chose not to.

Heard there was a black blackbird at G11 with the hardtop spoiler. Saw a pic from the front not from the back though.

The 2nd t/a looks much better, I'm not a fan of the wing on top of a wing

I would definitely buy that custom convertible WS6 TA deck lid if some one created it. I would keep both to swap as I see fit and keep original. I almost pulled the trigger on a t-top version because of the spoiler alone. But I love verts!

Been a few years. Any updates on that REAL vert spoiler?
