Personally, I don't care for how that looks, and it isn't even pretending to be functional in any way. tt certainly is cheap though. I imagine you get what you pay for. However, I certainly didn't order one. I agree with the others above. If you're going to get a pre-painted spoiler, go with the ZR1 spoiler from Top Flight.

The pictures are terrible and I can’t tell what it looks like. I would also guess most spoilers aren’t functional.

I can see just fine what it looks like. You can zoom in on the picture in the listing. Most Corvette spoilers at least make an attempt to look functional (even if they aren't). The e-bay one that you posted is just a rectangular box that sits on the back of the car. It isn't even remotely aerodynamic. If you want a spoiler there are SO MANY better options out there. Don't just buy it because it's cheap. IMO, that spoiler does nothing but ruin the nice smooth lines on the back of the car. However, it's your car, and your choice. I won't say any more about it.

Got this one a few years ago from an eBay site, but I can't recall which vendor it was.. It was painted when it arrived, easy to apply, paint was darn close to dead-on. I have no complaints.

Man for that cheap, I'd do it and just see what it looks like. YOLO.

I'm half tempted to try it.

Update: after paypal rewards points it was only $47 shipped. Spoiler incoming. I've spent more on bad meals.

That’s what I thought. If yours looks half decent I’m getting one. Thanks!

Ugh, I'm tempted too, haha. They have quicksilver metallic (WA 519F) to match my Z06.

This is from the same company. It’s a little bigger.

The allure isn't quite there, being $148 vs the first one @ $67. Also hard to imagine what it would look like on a C5 when they show it on a non-C5.

Agreed. The 67 bucks is what drew me in.

Well, it was supposed to be delivered today, which is awesome because I'm off tomorrow, but alas - DHL can't read and said I apparently no longer live at my address because the house on the other side of the cul-de-sac is for rent.


So I'm on with chat support to see about getting it tomorrow.

Hopefully an update will be given.
