Looking good. The C7 carbon ZR spoiler will go very well with everything you have done so far. Are you going with the carbon fiber? Carbon would look killer with the forest green. Will you add a front splitter as well. Just ordered another carbon fiber C5R front splitter for mine. Snapped the one that was on my car clean in two! Looks naked without it now.

Oops didn't read the attached thread on the spoiler. Still looks killer.

No splitter for the very reason why you are replacing yours. I cant justify the 94.00 for carbon fiber when I'm painting it.

removed my polished race mesh because it didn't match the tigershark mesh and added these from corvettemods.



when the car was painted, i removed the acrylic rear bumper lettering . i know have these domed silver letters i bought through north american tuning only to find out they drop shipped from vette works international in tampa florida.



for giggles, i put the front corvette emblem in the mesh on the tigershark bumper.
