Rear wings on a C5 generally don't get a lot of positive comments...

If the Corvette needed a "wing" I'm pretty sure the engineers would have put one on there. Go with one of the nice wrap-around spoilers instead and save yourself the embarrassment of being made fun of. The C5-R is the only vette that looks good with a wing.

Wings look about as out of place on these cars as a trunk mounted limousine tv antenna would.
