I can't vote because I don't like either. They don't look natural and look like they've been plopped on looking like an add-on. If I were to get a full width spoiler, it would be the CDC spoiler. Just my preference.

ZR1 spoiler has a better contour that flows with the shape of the rear deck better IMO but for high speed aero the full width spoiler (Ron Fellows style) is a better choice.

Looks = ZR1 style
Aero = Ron Fellows style

I like the looks of the ZR1. It flows with the lines of the hatch best.

I depends a lot on the color of the car which spoiler look that I prefer. In the full width spoilers, I prefer the ZR1, but on many cars I like the Z06 body colored spoiler. On some cars I like the Z06 black spoiler.

Anybody else notice that wax builds up under the spoiler? On my AW dirt and wax was built up leaving a brown line around my spoiler.

Just finished taking it off and cleaning it up. Had to use rubbing alcohol to remove the wax buildup. Also cleaned around the taillights.

Went ahead and waxed under it while it was off.

Might not show up on darker colors but it did on Arctic White.

Interesting, the ZR1 spoiler was designed for the ZR1 which achieved just short of 206 mph
The Ron Fellows was designed for the Z06 which achieved 198 MPH. Sounds to me like the ZR1 was designed for better aero.

Prefer the appearance of the full width spoiler. However most of those who purchase will have the ZR1 since the Vettes on dealer lots that have spoilers come with those.
