Be warned that you usually get what you pay for. I would be wary of the fit and finish of a spoiler that cheap. Just sayin.

Absolutely, just seems like a decent price. 100% feedback and since they come painted I assume the fitment should be dead on.

I noticed that the seller says it won't fit a GS or Z06 because of the 3rd brake light.

That tells me they aren't that familiar with the C6. The 3rd brake light assembly is the same for all C6 models.

Maybe it would fit/look great. You won't know unless you buy it or hear from someone else who has but that same spoiler from that seller.

Yeah, for $1,500 if we're talking about the same one. I'd take my chances on a sub-$400 "almost C7" spoiler first.

Maybe this spoiler sits on top of the existing spoiler (brake light housing). If I'm not mistaken the base C6 brake light assembly is shorter than the Z06 and GS brake light assembly.

Brake "light" is the same, but the spoiler that the brake light is mounted inside is taller on the GS/Z06. The "new" C7 spoiler probably mounts over the existing spoiler instead of replacing it.

Agreed... Look at the fit on the driver's side end of the spoiler in the seller's pic. Looks tilted, and most likely the pic they used was deemed to show the spoiler in its best light.

I thought of that but the photo in the ad doesn't seem to show that.

Anyway, I wouldn't want a spoiler that goes over the existing spoiler. JMO


EDIT: You could be right about that because the brake light seems to be inset some so maybe the shell just mounts on top of the existing 'regular' spoiler. This too would not be acceptable to me.

I would get in touch with the seller to clarify this before buying.
