Default Looking for a short version rear spoiler

Does anyone make a short carbon fiber rear spoiler for the C5? Something similar to this one for the C6. I don't want any material coming down the side of the car...just want the spoiler to sit on top....

There is a C6 style spoiler made of Carbon Fiber, I forgot who makes it, maybe Quik Z06, but on a C5 it just does not look right (in my opinion). The rear of the C5 is different then that of the C6. Try the Advanced Search for C6 style rear spoiler.

Yep, Quik Z06 and I think Apsis also has one.

I agree that I'm just not feeling the love for it on a C5. Looks good on the C6 though.
