Default Anyone have this spoiler?

Has anyone installed this spoiler and if so, do you have any pictures to post? I'd like to see it from other angles.

thank you,
Jim

Default No Flames Intended.

Do you NEED the spoiler for racing or do you just WANT the spoiler to be different and perhaps have your "Z" noticed more? If the latter is true then can you explain to me why you would want to take a beautiful ride like your Vette and add an external bling that does nothing for the car's looks.

I had an '02 White M3 and the first thing I did was rip that damn "It doesn't really do anything" spoiler from the edge of the rear deck and what a difference it made in the flow of the car's design. Got a lot of complients on the looks and many guys copied me. The glue was easy to take off......a little polish then wax and it cleaned right up. Anyway......to each his own.....I hope that spoiler makes you happy and does for you what you wish.

So you don't like spoilers. Who gives a rip.

I considered that spoiler, I like it & have seen it in person on a couple other cars. I opted instead to take the spoiler that hoogbest threw in the trash, & put it on my car .

I think my spoiler looks great on your "Z"........it doesen't screw up the flow of the car's lines.......it sure did on my M3.....can't understand why it looks so good on yours......might be the color which I like a lot plus the "Z" has a much better design! Best to you and yours!

Hmmm, I was considering one of those as well. The manufacturer's website has a .pdf "brochure" that has an okay pic from the rear:

But still no pics from the front

Thanks eschantra for the post. After seeing a couple more views, I'm not liking that spoiler. It looks too "tacked on" to me. I may go with the Specter Werks rear clip if I get anything.

BR and Hoog, now that I've viewed that black spoiler in higher resolution............what is that ?? Is it just a custom fabbed black plastic strip or is it an actual spoiler made for the Z ?

Carvaggio makes a decent looking rear spoiler. Might want to check it out too.

I'd like to see other angles on this one too.

I prefer the specter werkes but, this is far less expensive and intrusive.
