VERY nice I think I am one of the few people who like them. Is that the racing wing? I was going to get the racing wing with my kit but got the classic wing instead..I hope mine looks as nice when it is done..

The rear wing displayed above was originally designed and introduced by the legendary Corvette motorsports racing enthusiast, and, body kit designer John Greenwood. John raced Corvettes in the late 60's and early 70's, AND, designed some of the most amazing C3 wide body kits ever: The Turbo GT, the GTO, and, the amazing Daytona Wide Body Kits. Aftermarket versions of these very same kits were developed and sold commercially by Ecklers well into the late 80's. John later decided to produce an offering for the new Corvette C4, and, consequently introduced the Greenwood G4R Kits which introduced, and, incorporated the rear wing style/model pictured above. Moreover, this wing has since been re-released for the Corvette C5 market (the G5), and, is also available from Ecklers.

*** up? Is that a good, or bad thing?

Not a fan of spoilers, but I'll admit that one looks good

methinks you can substitute "***" for "screw" in this case...

For a "raised" spoiler, I think that looks pretty good but I still love my Caravaggio.

Sorry, but I think detracts too much from the overall design of the C5 bod.

I'm not a big fan of any wings or spoilers on any c5(except the c5r cars,of course),but this looks good.it blends in well and doesn't scream "Look at me!!Look at me!!!!"
Good job.

Looks good to me, but wish you would post a picture of the entire car (angle view) as it would look better than highlighting one particular view (which makes the spolier look bigger than it should).

On this forum they'll either love body enhancements or they'll hate'em, not to many in between views.
