got mine on Amazon. way cheaper. bought two sets so I have three on the car on each side. work great. center one lifts the whole side of the car at once. I had to cut out a bit of the plastic to get the center one on there but no big deal.

Thinking maybe a nylon shim on the outboard side of the pinch weld attached with 3m tape may distribute the load better. Someone with a coupe could probably shed some light on this question.
I certainly appreciate everyone’s comments so far. Thanks!

I installed the ZL1 version on my 2011 Convertible. You do not need to cut, just install 1 on each side and you can easily lift both wheels on that side from a single jack point.

Well I got the Gen.5 stealth lift pads. They required some modifications with a Dremel. Tool to clear the vert under body bracing. I did try not have to do any cutting of the bracing on the car . So I was happy with that. Each pad had to have material removed specific to the location it was used .

I’ve been looking at these for my 11 vert. What exactly needs to be modified to make these fit? Is it just the rocker or the rocker and bracing?

I didn’t cut or modify the car at all. I used a dremmel tool with a router bit and removed material from the lift pad as needed to fit over the extra bracing that the convertible has. I put masking tape on the lift pad where it would contact the brace and tapped it on where it fits up inside the plastic rocker cover then ground out the pad until it went on enough to touch the rest of the brace, marked that area and ground it out until the pad went up on far enough to touch the bottom edge of the pinch weld as it would on the coupe. I still had enough material left on the pad to be able to tighten pad using the set screws. I did have to temporarily remove one of the brace bolts to be able to get set screw tight but then put the bolt back in. No damage or modifications have to be done to the car.
