I would change the mirrors to red and not mess with the spoiler, the potential for screwing up the spoiler far exceeds changing the mirror casing, and the car has enough black/red contrast already, doesn't need more.

The spoiler is simple guys. Two bolts and some double sided tape. Not rocket science to pull it off, use a heat gun and some goo-gone and then re-apply new spoiler. There are two studs in it so alignment isn't an issue.

Crap! That really messes up my plans to buy a Z51 and take the spoiler off 
Now I really hope GM comes out with a spoiler delete option for the Z51.

They must be drunk at the plant.
At least if you go to black, you won't have to worry about color matching the paint.

Agreed.. I like the car as-is. If anything I would want the red mirrors too.
The black spoiler & mirrors just dont do it for me. They are factory parts that are simply a different color. I think the only way the black additions would look good is if they were some type of aftermarket design. Where you wanted it stand out.

Saw my first TR C7 at Hendricks in Cary, NC yesterday. It had the "carbon flash" spoilers and mirrors, Z51, MAG, Black-2lt, black wheels with red calipers. Car looked great but, I just couldn't get into the black metalic painted mirrors and spoiler. Just as I suspected, they look majorly cheap (IMHO) and added on. The wheels looked better than I had expected but needed black lug nuts. But over all, WOW!
