Question Has Anyone Installed a Votex Rear Bumper?

I've been looking at threads on Votex bumpers and know there are differences between rear bumpers on the convertible and hardtop. I would like to install them on my vert.
Has anyone pulled it off? Please help.

Same if i recall correctly. The difference is between the 1998-2005 models vs the 2006-2010 models

The coupe vs. convertible rear bumper cover difference is only in the size and shape of the trunklid opening. Therefore, not a direct fit.

Eventhough it's not a direct fit, could the Votex be modified to make it fit? (I haven't seen one, so I don't know how different they could be).
