Monday's Poll: Do you like the spoiler on the Z51

Yup. and the Z51 spoiler looks like someone took a boy racer wing out of a catalog and glued it on the back. The after market will provide better solutions than either one. That's what's on my C6, and I will be looking for the same on my future C7. I prefer integrated spoilers in body color, but to each their own!

Not to discuss the merits of the entire package here, but do you like the spoiler? I am a aware that it serves a function in collaboration with the adjusted front air dam, but it dramatically changes the appearance of the car. The base look has a flowing line to the end. The Z-51 spoiler is aggressive. Which do you prefer? Would you order the Z-51 without the spoiler if you had the opportunity?
Are the spoilers on the Z51 the same as the optional 5ZU spoiler for a nonZ51?

The car looks very strange without the spoiler. The third brake light sticks out way too much. With the spoiler that light blends right in.
I would not have bought the C7 without it.

People who order the Z51 are ordering the best performance available. Deleting the spoiler would adversely reduce the rear downforce and adversely impact the handling. THAT WOULD BE DUMB. If you're willing to trade performance for style, consider choosing something else.

CRT was my other color or CGM. CRT mirrors and spoiler will look classy for sure. Like you I am not going for the aggressive look...

Dislike it and would remove it if I got the Z51 package or any performance package that has it. If the car really needs this type of downforce in the back, a wing would do the job much more efficiently (less drag) and would look better. As it stands, it will just be simpler to take off the entire rear valence panel, throw it on the side of the house, and replace it with an aftermarket piece.
