Yea, looks very similar to SLP, maybe a bit "longer" towards the back.
Price seems only a bit high seeing how CF always costs more, just not that much more.
Would be a lot more impressive if the images they have were actually photos instead of computer generated. That might look really nice on some colors.

Hoping someone here has installed one and we can get some feedback

Doesn't look too bad based on the pic on the site - but would like to hear from someone that actually has one - i.e., quality, fit, finish, ease of install, etc.

??? Seriously, are half of the people on this site part of English as a Second Language?
The closest I can decipher is: It looks like it might be made by Carbon Creations.
I understand typos, but for Christ's sake preview your post before hitting submit.

not to mention it's IN THE TITLE!!!
I have no idea why someone would say "it looks like it might be made by carbon creations," when the OP knows who makes it, only asked if someone has one.
kinda missed something I guess

I have one.
Talk to Pete "Quik ZO6"
I think what's confusing people is that Carbon Creations works with Extreme "what ever the rest is" so they're actually the same product, but I think Pete offers much better pricing.
Anyway as i was saying, I have one, my SLP spoiler was actually used as the mold to make these.
Fit and finish of the product is good, the only hurdle to overcome is the carbon fiber itself. When mounting the wing you need to leave it in the sun for a few hours so that it's nice and flexible, then when mounting it, you need to use strong double sided tape (I actually used urethane) and then make sure that sucker is clamped down while it cures. The reason for this is that the carbon fiber is actually so strong, it can pull the tape apart from the body panels on the outer corners if you just tape, stick on and walk away.
I'm at work so I can't post new photo's however if you do a search for posts started by Pete, you'll be able to see some old pics I posted...or email me and I'll send you some.
Found the link for you. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...tyle-wing.html

OK, this is irrelevant if you're one of the "gotta have CF" types, but this one looks exactly like the one you've chosen, but I paid $249 for it. It's been on the car for at least 5 yrs. and is just 2-side taped on. No problems with adhesion. This picture is a bad angle; it's meant to show how much 325 wide tires stick out, so....
From Mid-America, IIRC.
one other angle.....

Thanks Matt
It is a copy of the SLP and I can definitely get better pricing than that, but at the moment they are out of stock. I sent you an e-mail. Thanks

Actually pretty easy mistake to make. It probably was to read "looks like it, but made by Carbon Creations". If you look at a standard key board the T and Y are right next to one another and it is pretty easy to hit one rather than the other. I added the comma for clarity.
