Default Wing on a C5

So, back in the day when I used to own a C4, it was customized and had an awesome wing. I think it just added to the awesome~ness of the car.

Now I own a C5, and was hoping to find a small similar wing, but so far am having no luck. Anyone know of where I could find a cool wing like this, for a good deal?? Also, if you have a wing, please post some pics!

Thanks!!!!!!!!
:o

Here is my old car, boy I miss it! (Please look past the cheezy prom photo...yuck! hahahah)

Grab your flame suit - some (myself included) do not approve of a wing on C5's.

Although not technically a 'wing', there are a number of add ons that are not too bad.

I would never put a rear spoiler on a corvette but if I had to pick one I would go with an ACI.

yea the slight lip spoilers that are subtle, are not bad, but I wouldn't get a rising wing, it would look bad, plus I think they attatch to the hatch area with drilling/hardware so its like...permenant.

That said, Those 3" rise C4 wings didn't look too bad, if they were the ones with the 4 mounts.
