Default This Spoiler

So I was wanting to see if anyone has bought and installed this particular ZR1 rear spoiler? Decent price but no Ebay reviews has me thinking twice about it. Appreciate any info.

Read the reviews in transaction feedback section regarding this spoiler

I was thinking the quality was probably about like the RPI reproduction one. I hear you man and agree with you. But why are the OEM ones $1000?

Here is a very good reproduction ZR1 spoiler.

Made in China from hard ABS plastic and requires [NO] prep work to make it fit. Perfect right out of the box!

You can get them without the mounting hardware for $150, or with mounting hardware for $170. These spoilers come with free delivery from California.

I had a hydrographic carbon fiber finish applied to mine after it was shipped.

This spoiler replaced my problematic RPI spoiler.

Oem zr1 spoilers are not 1000.00 but they are more likely expensive
However if you buy an aftermarket that fits poorly and or must be bandaided to fit at all without looking like a three eyed monster did you really save any money.
I ended up buying 2 zr1 spoilers one that was non returnable that cost me time money and disappointment and one that fit correctly, went on the first time with no unusual efforts and is perfect.

It don't make sense ... The GM ZR1 spoiler (comes to you unpainted) costs right at about $700 discounted.

However, the GM "Full Width" (aka: Ron Fellows) spoiler comes pre-painted in your choice of C6 colors and costs about $320 discounted.

It just don't make any sense .....

It does look really good Ron but now you have me thinking about the "Ron Fellows" one. I really want it pre-painted in SSB to match the car instead of black.

I just installed an RPI spoiler. No problems with the install and the spoiler looks great.

About 4 months ago, I ordered a Ron Fellows spoiler in the SSB color. First it went backorder ... then after checking as to why it never shipped, I was told that GM cannot get that color anymore from there manufacturer.

Good Luck ...

The GM P/N for that spoiler in SSB is: 20921726
