Any reviews or experiences with https://www.automotiveaerodynamics.store ?
I ordered the C5 3 piece Wickerbill spoiler and they promptly took my payment.
Now, after taking a look at them a little more closely on social media they are receiving horrible reviews.
They are pretty much non responsive to emails (no contact number on the website). it’s only been 3 days, so I’m cautiously optimistic.
I was able to pull their South Carolina business registration showing who owns it.
I was also able to find the contact number of the owner, but still no response.

I've been running their 3 piece Classic Wickerbill for a few years now, and I love it! Attaches to a C7Carbon ZR1-style spoiler with rivets. Not too hard to install -- just have to measure before you drill the holes for the rivets. I think the wickerbill fits great and has held up perfectly. They are a small outfit, but I never had any issues with communication.

Thanks YLO. I’ll keep everyone updated on this vendor. FYI, your car was the reason I ordered the Wickerbill for my 99 FRC. 👍

Thanks for including the link. At $160 I have to ask what materials are used for in the components fabrication?

Gloss black and clear polycarbonate. Similar to GM factory C7 wickerbills, I believe.

I've got the same kit. I found them excellent to deal with when I had a minor problem as a result of shipping. Still haven't installed it as I'm unsure how it will hold up at HIGH speeds.

@YLO Z06 which fenders are those, but of more interest who makes the CF mud slats for them?

Corvette Creationz makes the front and rear fenders. The rear spats are stock GM C6 Z06 pieces that I trimmed to fit and had hydro dipped in carbon fiber. There is a thread on here from another user about how to fit and trim the factory C6 Z06 spats to fit a C5. Here are specs on the wheels/tires and fenders:

Wheel Make: Forgestar

Wheel Model: CF5V

Front Wheel Size: 19x10 deep concave

Front Offset or Backspace: +35

Rear Wheel Size: 19x12 deep concave

Rear Offset or Backspace: +39

Front Tire Size: 285/30/19

Rear Tire Size: 325/30/19

Suspension mods: JoC coilovers, lowered, C6Z brakes

Problems or Issues, such as clearance/rubbing problems: none

Other: 1" front flared fenders from Corvette Creationz; 2" rear flared "TPE style" fenders from Corvette Creationz

I'm pretty sure they closed their store more than a year ago.
