Thats a sharp looking vette. Since installing your new spoiler which looks different in the center, have you noticed a raise in temperture on the temp gauge while driving?

Should take a poll on how long it lasts before it gets torn up.

Got it from RPI, it's carbon fiber.

Sorry forgot to answer the height question, it's actually about an inch higher than the stock 3 piece rubber air dam.

Yes but didn't like the pavement and the glare from the sun, so I'll post a couple more this weekend.

From RPI and I believe it was around $500 with shipping; fitment was pretty good.

Took off 3 piece hard rubber dam,
Used blue painters tape and taped it up in many places,
Positioned and centered,
Started from the center or front and made my marks for drilling and worked in a couple of screws from center to each end. The spoiler came with pre-drilled holes.
I did go to Lowes and buy longer self taping screws, the ones they sent just didn't work for me.
I added a couple of extra holes where necessary so to give a good fit against the bumper.
Install 3 piece rubber dam.
Overall a pretty basic install. Oh I must mentioned I had the car up on a rack so they made it pretty easy.

Thanks Chip.

I went to the RPI site and cant find this spoiler / splitter. However i did see some CF spoilers for the C6. Could you post a part number please. Thanks in advance.
