Where is the best place and price to purchase the zr1 style carbon fiber spoiler from? I like the extended one that c7 Carbon makes but want to make sure I get the best one. I prefer the bolt in. Not the stick on. Thanks in advance.

Geez you guys with the wide rear hips and the slick rear spoilers really make me want to throw down some change into some parts every time I see a rear shot.

does a spoiler of this design create significant downforce?

The one from C7 Carbon can be either bolted on or taped. If u use tape get the 3m vhb tape as it is much stronger than the regular 3m. Thats what i used and theres no way the spoiler is coming off. The bolts are included to mount that way if u like.

I bolted mine because it's flush down on the car no tape gap, but if you want to remove it, well you have holes in your bumper! I like mine a lot so I don't see ever taking it off.

I bought mine from C7Carbon. I did a little customization before I installed it: painted much of it Millennium Yellow, used pin stripe tape to clean up the paint line, then clear coated over the pin stripe tape. You can't feel the tape at all.







This spoiler is bolted on...I didn't want to risk having the paint screwed up if the spoiler detached while I was driving it. That's a personal preference, of course, but one that's not reversible if you don't like the spoiler or want to ditch it for any reason.
