Does anyone have a carbon fiber or a black ACI spoiler on their C5
Please post pics if you have them

I had CF but got tired of the look against the Torch Red, so I switched to this...




Here's the comparison....



The car with CF...

I think the TR painted spoiler looks much better. I like good CF, however without the paint, it screams "add on after-market spoiler".

I have seen some nice CF components (side mirrors, spoilers, chin spoilers and side skirts) on black C5s that look awesome.

I have a torch red vert with a CF coming in the mail, alone it does look aftermarket, but I have CF corvette lettering, CF license plate, CF hood (like the one Dennis has on his vett) and CF exhaust plate so hopefully it will all look good together. I plan on eventually getting CF side skirts and the front CF spoiler so it should all work. I hope!

I do like the red one though on your car, well too late now will post pics when installed (if I ever get it - been waiting 2 weeks now)

Yea, I waited a couple months for the CF one...then when it came in it had a chipped corner I was lucky to get a free replacement, but it took a lot of patience and persistent communication to win the claim. I touched up the corner myself and had it painted torch red. In the long run everything worked out but what a nightmare to get where I am now. When you get all your CF pieces I am sure it will look great...be sure to post pics for us.

footnote:

So, where's the OP? LOL
