^^^ I used double-sided automotive mounting tape. It's been solid for 10 years. Body shop installed it after painting it. You need to slightly manipulate the side spears to hug the body and one trick is to place painters tape over the spears for 24-48 hours after positioning the spoiler to help secure the bond.

Awesome thread! This is the exact thread I’ve been needing to find to come up with the right look Im trying to find for my torch red C5 to have once I’m done building up the motor over the next few months. Can’t wait to give it a more aggressive look to go with all the power at the track

Spoiler King via eBay. This is their mildest version, think I paid something like $100?

They make more extreme versions now, on the fence on whether they fit the FRC as well as this little one does. Now if I could find a decent lip at a decent price.

Apologies to the OP. Our modern understanding of aero as it applies to cars is in large part due to those who dared to experiment .( Note, this car did run a Chevy engine)

I was looking at their other products, and I must say I really like the height, angle, and shape of their spoilers. I just wish they offered them in CF. The one on the red c5 would look really cool with a clear center section like the c7z wickerbill.

They are made to be held on w/tape, I bought mine used and it fit so well when I test fit it the left over sticky made it hard to pull off...installed properly they are not blowing off.

You have more photos of that? I really like that look... looks very similar to mine and that spoiler looks real simple but gives the perfect look

It is just a replica of the extremely popular SLP spoiler. But carbon fiber instead of fiberglass.
