front bumper is the same so any splitter made for the base or s model bumper will fit your base or s model convertible
side skirts different. But you can get away with fitting the convertible with side splitters
rear bumper is different and I dont believe any rear diffuser was ever made for our rear bumpers but I have seen some members convert rear diffusers to fit our rear bumpers. See my convertibke below with front and side splitters. Didn’t go the route of adding a diffuser.

sweet build. You got any photos with the top up. Also do you know anything about hoods really like the look of these vented hoods I’ve been seeing on coupes but don’t know if they will fit the convertible
also bolt on wide body kits should fit the convertible too right as there’s not much fitting there

hoods are the same but id stay stock unless you’re going full carbon fiber. These duraflex hoods are made like crap and you’re going to spend a whole lot more to get them fixed to fit the correct way.

again I’d be careful on the wide body kits because of the slight difference on the sides from the convertible compared to coupe. If you do go that route plan on spending a ton of money to get them on correctly. I highly doubt you’ll find a direct bolt on without having to do any modifications after that.



that’s top up with my old rims. Don’t have many pics of the car with the top up


if you have the money to spare I’d throw a turbo charger in it !

planning on throwing a turbo in there as for the hood I just liked the look of the vented ones kinda sucks about the wide body but that would a good bit in the future so will have time to figure that out thanks for the help

You can run 11" wide wheels in the back - why do you need to go out more?!
It'll probably be cheaper to build a customer fiberglass kit from scratch than try to fit an existing one. Vert booty is completely different from the coupe.

Like stugots said - if you are going to replace the hood, don't skimp out and get a good qualify cf one. Unless you don't mind weird gaps and rattles, of course.
