Lots of guys on facebook have installed them on their C5's, Ken. Haven't heard any complaints, yet.

I bought one, sat it on the car and taped it down to get a feel for it, and ended up not installing it.

None of the spoilers for the C5 do it for me. The Spoiler King one is too narrow and I felt like it took away from the lines of the car. I sold it to a buddy who put it on and he loves it, but it just wasn't for me.

So was this one too small for you?
What about this one? I know its pretty big but you may like it as opposed to the smaller spoiler? Just sayin....


here's another option i was thinking about...

The duckbill is actually pretty cool - but I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of painting my bumper to do it.

The SLP spoiler, IMO, is the best looking one of the bunch:

I did the same with the SLP spoiler. After painting and temporary installing it, I decided, IMHO, it did not fit the lines of the C5 . It now sits in the box it came from.

Yeah... it's the best of the bunch, but still a bit of a compromise. If I'm going to do a spoiler, it would be because I went full track car anyway. (not mine, but boy do I wish it was lol)

They're totally fine matrials/construction wise. If it's your cup of tea, stick it on and enjoy.
