Default Looking for ideas for rear spoiler

Hey guys,

Looking to add a spoiler that is different from most.

Im a huge fan of high rise wings. I want to buy one bad but im not a huge fan of the apc high rise because its too tall and i dont like the stand placement. Im a fan of the new zr1 high rise spoiler where the stands are....just not how tall it is.

Any pictures would help

I was wondering if anyone had pictures or ideas.

Look it is your car so do as you please, but just be aware that if you put a wing on your car and post pictures here you will get a lot of grief from many members here. I think on the right car setup they look fine, on others NO. What I mean if your car looks like just about ever other Corvette on the street then NO. If it looks more like it belongs on the track then the street then you can pull it off. There are a few on here that meet that stance.

If you are planning to keep this car for a long while, do what you want to, BUT, resale will be tough if you won’t be keeping it long.

All this guy needs to do now to his Corvette is to add a set of flaps and ailerons:





"Maintain runway heading, contact departure control climbing through 2,000, winds 280 at 5 knots, cleared for takeoff" !

The APR actually isn’t that tall. It’s about as tall as the roof. Resale? Not worried about it. I have a bunch of miles on mine, holes cut out the hood for vents, grill cut for tow hook, interior quarter panels cut for harness bar, etc.
