ACP has them too. about$1800 plus up rights

HardBar makes one $2,000 I think, plus up rights

putting on a wing without the remaining aero body parts, does little good, let alone the suspension to handle it and the HP& TQ to run the car.

I remember when I was sourcing the parts needed to do my C6R, I spoke with Mike Adkins at P&M, who told me he can sell me one for (unmentionable---way out of there!), but he directed me to Lou at LG who he said had a spare wing he used in one of the Speed Challenge race, but it was so good it was banned! I was able to buy it from him for a few thou w/ no mountings, end plates and duckbill, just the long CF wing! Fortunately, Kerry Hitt from ACP came to the rescue and built all the other parts to it as a one-off for my car, together with all the other aero bits you need as a total downforcing package (vented hood, front splitter, etc.)

Pratt and Miller is correct and is where I did bought mine. Great technology is this piece. It is a lot of wing and many other factors should be considered before slapping this puppy on. Feel free to PM me if you would like more specifics.

The brackets are mounted straight to the frame rails.

Not C6R, but they have one that looks similar in addition to some other aero components for Corvettes

You can get a virtually identical wing, the same one used by all the speed world challenge cars, from Kerry Hitt at ACP. The cost is more like $2700 though and it doesn't come with endplates or brackets to mount it to the car.
