Default rear spoilers....lets see em

I am hating myself for wanting it...but im thinking of a ACP CF spoiler. They do look like a very nice piece, but I think they are a bit to high for a coupes roof line. Are there any out there that are just like the C5R and C6R?

It is fully adjustable with hiem joints from 0 to 12 degrees. Strong enough to handle a high speed side spin without ripping off.
The support goes straight to the bumper frame. Streamlining not completed yet. Made custom by Precision Chassis in Gilbert Az.
Makers of Boxster Spec cars mostly, but they do work on Corvettes. They would be happy to build you a set too.

Wallyman, where'd you get that front license plate piece with the ducts and where do you have that air routed to?

Those are just summit racing naca ducts (2 of them) donated very generously from mike woods. Theyre routed to the radiator, just to give me a little extra airflow on those hot days. I can definitely cover them up on sub 80 degree days, just need to figure out a way to do it.

You can't just attach your license plate cover over all that?

thats the plan, I just need to come up with an attachment mechanism. This is an aftermarket bumper, so the stock way of just sliding it into the cutout and using those 2 screws wont work.

Its easy enough, its just far down my list.

Wally, isn't the front frame rail right behind that section of the nose? If so, how did you get the hose to clear that rail?
