IMO adding a spoiler ruins the beautiful contours of the sloping hatch lines and the top lines of the rear fenders. In fact, this is the first car in thirty plus years where I didn't add a spoiler.
That said, I like the look of the wing spoiler vs. the full spoiler because it does not hide the contours, instead it compliments them. Again, the car looks much better without a spoiler.

You have lots of options. Check cultrag and trunkmonkey for oem spoilers to start. That might give you some ideas if you need them.

I think the Z51 OEM spoiler looks great on the C7. I have the base model 1LT with the Z51 spoiler mounted. This spoiler was part of the ZF1 package that was available for the 2015 models and was an option.

Well after months of research I decided to go with the Sentinel Motorsports full carbon fiber aero kit. There stuff is unique and I was looking for something other than the usual z06 look a like stuff.
My kit is arriving this week and I will post up pics of the spoiler on my car but for the mean time here it is on white, from their site. The say all of their parts were made based off of GM cad files for original parts so the fit should be perfect. I can confirm this to be true or not by friday.
Also the color is supposed to match the factory carbon. A big deal for me as I have the factory carbon fiber roof.

One of the reasons I purchased a base model, not into spoilers.

Z51 spoiler
I like it. Is it hard to install? Is the install like the C6 where you just remove the tail lights? And get to the mounting nuts that way?

I bought the C7 with the ZF1 Appearance Pkg already installed. The spoiler was mounted on the C7 at the factory in Bowling Green.
I am not sure about how hard, how many bolts or drill holes it would take to mount the Z51 spoiler.
My bet is, someone else here on the forum would be able to tell.

I had a problem with the spoiler options when I bought mine. So I didn't get one. I thought I would wait and get an after market, but nothing has appeared that I like. I want a wing spoiler, but the ones offered are way too big. Can't find anything in between. I have to agree with one poster that most of the spoilers offered spoil, no pun intended, the lines of the car.
