That is a WB car. Can't remember the vendor, but car belongs to forum guy. Nice ride, but I agree spoiler is too tall.

looks like the wing was custom (molded on) made to go with the body kit. (I could be wrong )

I would normally agree with the 2 gentlemen above, but that car pulls of that higher wing, it goes with the overall "look" of the car! Nice ride!

Looks like the owner is 'transamer 79'. PM him.

This car, 'Jason Blue Boost' also seems to have a similar one.

I too think the spoiler is a bit high, but nice car otherwise.

Agreed! Seems a little out of place for me anyway. Great looking car otherwise.

The car looks great ! However.....
The spoiler looks like it's part of a custom bumper. A bit too tall.

I wonder how functional it is though. I remember seeing this one and thinking that would be a good compromise between an actual wing and the ACI spoiler or Caravaggio one. I actually don't mind the height so much so long as its functional and is a good addition to having the ACI front spoiler, being slammed and pushing 600 to the ground. Wonder if this would be a good one to get for my ride....

Looks like somebody bashed into the rear of that poor Corvette and gave it a "fat lip!"
