Default Rear Wing for C7: Downforce Without Body Damage

I'm looking to track my C7 Corvette. I'm an advanced driver.

I'll be installing an aggressive front splitter, but need to balance the car with sufficient rear down force. The mini rear spoiler on my Z51 equipped car just won't be enough.

The Dilemma:
It's a new car. . . . Part Street; Part Track.

I don't really want to trash the body by drilling holes and bolting on a wing.

Can someone offer any suggestions or solutions?

thanks

Add an aggressive rear diffuser to match your splitter
