How about a Caravaggio flush mounted spoiler instead of a wing that sits above the rear deck. Here's one on an Electron Blue C5

Congrats for sticking with what YOU like and want for your Vette. It didn't look like you were asking for opinions on adding a wing, but that never stops people from telling you what you ought to do with your car. Fortunately, you also received some worthwhile information.
Be sure to post up some pics when you get it installed!

Glenn. I just got mine and can't wait to put it on. The coupes just need a little something back there IMO. Got it in about 4 weeks from Carravagio and he knocked $100 off the retail of $545 and didn't charge anything to ship. Don't know why, but thanks a million, John.

While not as bad as BSM, I'll have to agree that wings are generally pretty unattractive on anything other than a hard core track vette. Having said that, I believe Breathless Performance is currently marketing a carbon fiber(ish?) wing assembly. Check their website.

Just admit you want a Honda.
The wing on Ebay is a 98 Accord wing without the fancy stop light in the middle.
Just an FYI incase you blow by a honda and recognize it.

Which Wing is That?
Wayne - That's not the Eckler's wing I suggested to BCG but I kinda like that one as well. Where'd ya get it? 
KCJeff - I'm with U in that it gets old having people tell me what U should/shouldn't do to MY car.
While agree that Corvettes should maintain a certain amount of subtle styling, as long as I'm paying the monthly note or modification bill then I'm gonna do what I want to MY car!!

Gene,
We got the body kit from fleabay. When it got here it was from C5West corvettes. I think the total cost of the kit was under 700. Front chin spoiler, side skirts and rear wing. Search Fleabay for corvette ground effects.
