Yes it will. As you can tell by comparing the first photos to the second set I had my local dealership raise the car back up to OEM ride heights. BUT as you can see they took it too high so I need to return it to them to drop it about halfway between before and after. I was really undecided on the wing when I saw the first pictures of the car and it really helps having painted it now the way it is. But I have to admit, the voting is about 80% liking the wing when viewed in person. Plus I look at it this way, there is PLENTY of stock Z06s running around now that I felt it was worth the try seeing it came with it and I personally like it now that it is painted as it is.

What a day! I took it out, (the roads were clear and as long as I stayed on the highways there were no puddles) and drove down to the pizza-fest at factory five racing. It was so nice to be in a Z06 again!

Do you know what company made the wing? Or sold it.

Carbon Fiber Good painted and installed, pic to follow when it stops raining. I cleared the two center bulges over the CF and painted the balance. It looks ssssoooooo good!

It's still funny. Forum members (including myself) who have only sen this car in person is about 85% against the wing. In person I have only met one person so far that does not like the wing. And he is one of those "If it isn't gonna make me money, I can't see any reasons"

A wing on a C5 isn't like a wing on a Lambo Countach. In my opinion it just doesn't look right on a Corvette for the streets.
