I've seen a member on here before with that wing. He has a dark blue vette. I just can't seen to find any post from him. Sorry! I know he has about 10 or so photos of his wing from many angles. Good luck!

Before you screw with the body, why not actually improve the car? Dump the slippery and hard riding runflat tires for some high end Michelins or BFG G-Force KDWs and get some Bilstein Sport shocks and ZO6 sway bars. Replace the front brake pads with low dust ceramic blend pads. Put in a better breating intake filter and airbridge, such as a Halltech Stinger. Higher flow cats will also give free HP by removing the restriction of stock cats. I would first make the car handle and move along a bit better, then screw with zero performance appearance items. Just my 0.02 for you to think about, Everyone here knows I am biased for function first!

I have a Greenwood wing on my C4. It looks okay on a C4, but I wish it was not on the car. I have thought about taking it off, but there are about 20 hole in the bumper.
I think you would regret putting that big assed spoiler on an already big assed C5. I Have seen some mods where they raise the lip on the C5 in a subtle manner that look nice, but I have never seen a spoiler I really liked on a C5.
Get help now, don't ruin a beautiful car. (just joking, sort of)

Please. If you must have something extra on the back, look into some spoilers. Several members have nice looking ones that blend into the body and don't look like ironing boards. (Still love that pic, EG... )
As another CF member mentioned, the back is big enough without a huge wing on it.
2 cents deposited.
