Rear Spoiler
I am trying to decide between the LED Z06 spoiler and the LED standard spoiler from Southern Car Parts. I sort of like the sleekness of the standard spoiler vs. the raised Z06 spoiler.
Thoughts?

...Kinda. I really had a tough decision between the two, plus I considered the full length spoiler, ala Ron Fellows Z06. I have seen the Z06 body colored spoiler on friends' base C6's, and they looked cool. But I wrestled with the "hump" thing...I ended up with body colored, standard spoiler. I like it, but now wishing I had taken the plunge (and drilled the holes!!) for the full length spoiler.
Oh well, another mod down the road!
Bottom line, you can't go wrong either way. Just get rid of the stock black wart!

IMHO, the stock black plastic piece looks horrible on anything but a black car. From directly behind, the stock piece looks passable. But if you stand next to the car, it's just awful.
I was dead set on getting a painted Z06 spoiler, but after taking one final look at the Z06 part versus the painted standard spoiler, I ended up choosing the standard. It just looks cleaner and more integrated.
There's not much clean air getting to it on a convertible anyway, and I don't believe the Z06 spoiler would have created downforce at any speed.

Well to add to my confusion I discovered that the Vette Shop is selling the color matched Z06 spoiler (no LEDs) for $109.00 with free shipping.
Almost 1/2 the cost of the LED spoilers.

I got a Corvette club discount from Ecklers. Sorry, that's why it turned out to be $199. I think it did list for @ $220. I didn't go with the brake lamp pulser though. I'm not going to screw with the wiring while it's under warranty. Now the intake, exhaust and tuning are another thing....
