Default Stage 3 Spoiler on Stingray Z51

Yes, I am doing it, I already have the spoiler and it sits flush with the outer edge of the rear fascia. The wrap around stage 3 winglets will be slightly outboard of the body but look fine, I saw another with the same. I will have the center lexan wicker too. I will have the OEM Spoiler available once the transformation is complete, its Carbon Flash and in perfect condition.

Do any of the holes in the bumper match, or do you have to drill a whole new set?

In for pics, however I wonder whether the Stage 2 with the flatter, less vertical winglets would be a better fit?

Can you get a pic of the stage 2 winglets held up to the C7 Z51 spoiler before you remove it??
would just the winglets fit the stock Z51 spoiler???

thanks..

the new spoiler has indentions and is already ready to accept the winglets, I do not think they will look proper on the regular spoiler

Everything fits, took some photos. My error, ordeed stage 1 so I did not install wickerbill yet. Stage 2 and wickerbill will be next, on order. You only have to pull back the bumper to get to bolts, all fit in OE spaces. Spoiler is cut to fit the Z51 body lines, just a little wider at the ends.

It looks cool but it's a little too tall IMO for the stingray rear which is 3 inches narrower than the Z. I ordered this one and love it but props to the OP for doing something different. Very cool man !!
