Trying to decide which way to go. Painted ZR1 style or the Tiger Shark spoiler. Don't know if the latter requires drilling, that would be the deciding factor for me.

Anyone have pics of the Tiger Shark on a base C6? White would be even better!



Thx

If you don't mind honest input. Don't use the double sided tape crap it will hold for awhile then it will not work causing it to come loose. Drilling is the best way to go.

I guess it's no different from drilling holes in the boat. Measure five times, drill once....

Why do you say that? I've had spoilers on cars that were only held on w/the 3M tape & they were fine for years.

I say ZR1 over Tiger Shark.

Same here. Not saying it's better than mounting per instruction but in the 90's I had a couple cars over the years that were only held on by double sided tape. Never had an issue with either one. I would expect the products are probably even better now.

Default Tape

Where i live it gets HOT the heat makes that tape come loose. And why would anyone want to tape anything on an expensive car?

ZR1 for sure. No big deal to drill. Once it is on you will never want to take it off.
