Default 1le Wing on a C5?

Writing this in hopes I get a response within the next hour or two, I got a pretty sweat deal on a carbon fiber 1le style wing and I was just wondering with the the 3 different mount points it has, could it bolt on to the rear of a C5? I don’t mind giving up the ability to open my trunk the conventional way

You mean mount it to the urethane bumper? Or mounting to the trunk lid?

imo I don't think it'll look good at all being curved on the c5's rather straight across rear

If the deal was really good, I'd personally sell it and put it toward a wing actually and functionally designed for a C5:

And keep your trunk lid functional, too.

I agree that it would not look right on a C5. With that said, I'm sure it could be mounted to a C5 if you don't care about the trunk. It would require you to drill holes in the car though. I really strongly advise against it.

That is great, I literally LOL! hahaha! Even when those were new, I thought they looked dumb. On a side note, the other day, I saw what looked like stock, and brand new, a red 3000 GT driving down the road.

If that is the wing you are talking about, please do not do it. Just my opinion, but does not look good at all on a C5.

I'm thinking OP was referencing a 6th Gen Camaro ZL1 1LE spoiler

not one from a 5th Gen Camaro SS 1LE.
