Default 2013 Grand Sport

Hi all, can you tell me if the 2013 Grand Sport came with a rear spoiler as standard equipment? Thanks.

Yes, either the narrow style (regular) or the optional full width spoiler. That is what houses the 3rd brake light

The Standard Grand Sport spoiler is the same as the Z06 model received, flat black in color, dealer installed option in body color for certain colors.

Not sure if full width optional was factory installed or dealer installed.

Default Spoiler

Our 2013 Grand Sport 60th anniversary car came from the factory with a full width spoiler.

The little brakelight "spoiler" is standard -- the exact same one that is on the Z06 (approximately 18" wide, looks just like the one that is on the base C6 coupe, but is just a little taller)

The full width spoilers were optional equipment, either from the factory or as a dealer-installed option.

I'm pretty sure they were standard, factory installed on the 60th anniversary Grand Sports with the leather wrapped interior.

It could be that they were part of an *option package* that was available on the Grand Sport (like the "60th anniversary" option package that you mention) but they were definitely not *standard equipment* on the 2013 Grand Sport.

So yes, some were factory installed, but not as standard.

Best answer since OP probably didn't consider the little brakelight to be a spoiler. That little brakelight "spoiler" was standard on my 13 GS vert.

Yeah, my GS also had it, but I was ASSuming that when people here talk about spoilers, that little "overgrown brakelight" that our GS's wear as standard isn't what they mean. LOL

The full length spoiler, also known as the Ron Fellows Spoiler could have been ordered as a factory option or as a dealer installed option. The RPO sticker in the glove box will tell if it was factory installed vs. dealer installed. It looks like this!

To say it "came with" that ZR1 spoiler is misleading.
While your car came with that spoiler from Bowling Green, it was most certainly not standard equipment.
It was a $350.00 option as you can see on my '13 GS invoice.

Our window sticker does not have a separate listing for a spoiler. I'm pretty sure it was included in the 60th anniversary design package. Our car also has the 4LT premium equipment package. Somewhere in these two options, I'm sure GM buried the price of the ZR-1 spoiler.

Ahhhh, I missed the 60th Anniversary edition for some reason.
Was thinking only of a GS model.
As the kids say these days,...my bad.

The full length spoiler on mine came with the CE package, I believe...

The spoilers are appearance-only. The only function they perform is to look good.

The GM wind restrictor that installs behind the seats does a decent job when the windows are up, but if down, the effect is negligible.
