Default Which spoiler would look the best?

I have an 2015 coupe 3LT, non Z51. That little piece of **** spoiler on the back is a joke. I would like some recommendations for you experts on looks, price and fitment for my black vette. Thanks in advance....

Mine came with the base spoiler, I went with the Z51 but sorta regret not going with the Z06 Wickerbill.

I like the high wing spoiler myself, it's very nice looking and you rarely see people order it (probably because they don't know much about it and because it's not a factory option but a dealer installed accessory)

This is the one I'm talking about:

I do like that one. Much better than the one the thread OP is talking about.

I got a full length z51ish spoiler on eBay for only $148 shipped and painted. I think it looks great and best part is it slips right over the stock duck bill spoiler and is no drill for a super easy install.

I like the notched-look. How much did you pay? Did you install yourself.

I like this one also. Any drilling or strange things to do to get it to fit? Did you order this from Sentinel or through somebody else. I didn't see where to order directly from them on there website nor did I see a price.

I ordered directly through sentinel. I believe it was $750 for the carbon spoiler. I also have their carbon splitter on the front.

I would send an email, they're quick on response time.

My body guy installed it for me, and mentioned it was the best fitting aftermarket part he has seen. However all of the spoilers are a pain in the *** to install if you don't take off the bumper just because of the confined space. I don't think this one was any different than the other brands. And no extra drilling!

I ordered my 2014 Stingray with the Z51 rear spoiler and added the Stage 1 front splitter.
I don't really like the side skirts, and am amazed how many people put them on just to protect the rocker panels.

Really like the Z51 spoiler and front splitter. I have side skirts as they look great on dark colors. Some diffuser fins on your car would look killer.

I just ordered this one after talking with the owner today. Talked with him for 20 minutes and he answered any questions I had. I was going to go with the same style DAR spoiler for $50 more because I thought they had a good reputation and feared a cheaper one wouldn't be worth the gamble. After talking with Johnny at thespoilercompany and hearing what he had to say I am confident this spoiler will be perfect.

On a street car all it "spoils" is the looks. But, go for it!
