Default Spoiler Help

Hey guys - I'm looking for a true carbon fiber replacement for OEM spoiler on a base C6. Does anyone know of a vendor who makes these? I do not want hydrocarbon. Thanks for the help!

Agreed - problem is none of them make a OEM replacement in true carbon fiber. They either don't offer or are all hydrocarbon. Anybody know of a manufacturer that makes them in true carbon fiber? Thanks.

not sure why you don't want to upgrade the dinky looking stock spoiler on a C6? I think the larger ZR1 style ones by the above companies are a great upgrade!! I just got one from C7 Carbon through a forum vendor at a great price (real CF) and I can't wait to put it on.. of course, YRMV... to each his own.

You want real carbon, for it's light weight? American Hydrocarbon, do REAL carbon fiber wrapped over composite plastic etc.
I think APSIS and maybe one other vendor do strictly Carbon Fiber, no other material. It is a lot of money for something that will have NO benefit to you, but it is your money.

RPI, is NOT carbon fiber by itself it is carbon fiber wrapped, they also sell a hydrocarbon one.
They were having real trouble with their carbon fiber wrapped ones (I bought one and it was terrible, even Josh said it sucked ) and they stopped selling them, not sure if they have the molds fixed or not.

Apsis Item 10A:

http://www.apsisusa.com/Lamination%2...0on%20line.htm

10B is the original Z06 spoiler. They also make a full width ZR1 spoiler, maybe others. They also make all this stuff in other carbon fiber patterns. Their web site is a little rudimentary, so you may have to do a little clicking to figure it out.
