Have a 2012 Grand Sport, red in color. Wanting to put ZR1 style tail fin and side skirts. Which would look better?

1- gloss black
2- carbon fiber
3- red

Car is otherwise stock. Thoughts? I'm leaning to gloss black as Im going to wrap the halo in gloss black and tint windows. TIA.

Black satin side skirts, body color rear spoiler.

TwentySix

My preference is the carbon fiber option.

Gloss black since you said you're going to wrap the roof and halo in gloss black.

I'd wrap halo in carbon if I knew it would match good enough.

Rear spoiler in body color, side skirts gloss black. Not a fan of a black or cf rear spoiler as it looks tacked on.

I like red for it all. IMHO I like when everything matches, it looks factory to me, not added on.

My vote: Red

Though decision but was swayed by our co-member's above post that other colors look "added on" not factory.

However, all carbon is a style many like and I believe an OEM factory option.
The gloss black, maybe not for the spoiler, but for the rocker, easy to repair.

Good luck with your decision.

I'd recommend body color rear spoiler since that is factory look. For side skirts, zr1 had carbon fiber while z07 had black. I'd go with carbon fiber. Also, I'd have to assume you are getting a front splitter to match the shirts. I think it looks awkward without that.

Red looks more oem and classier by far...imo and nice looking car...

Jabcat, I love your car and it is easily one if not the best looking C6 on the forum. But I have to disagree w/ your comment that a black spoiler looks "tacked" on. The hood of your car is black/carbon fiber but looks more tacked on than a black spoiler, IMHO.

I'm not saying it looks bad, rather the opposite, its cool as ****, but I think you'd have to admit it is tacked on.

Body color spoiler, black rockers.

Carbon wrap the halo and carbon for the side skirts and spoiler.

and this is what it looks like on Torch Red

I like the rear spoiler in body color and the side skirts and ZR1 style front splitter in gloss black. This is especially so if you are wrapping/painting the halo.

Thanks for the compliments. The hood bulge is carbon fiber, and while I've come to like it, I agree it 100% looks tacked on (because it is). If it wasn't needed to clear the supercharger, the original B96 Carbon hood looked much better.

I've just never been a fan of non-body color trunk lip spoilers. There's nothing else back there in that color so it looks obviously aftermarket.

I'm struggling right now finding a slightly larger rear trunk spoiler for my M2 because they're either all cf or now a few gloss black versions have come available. I purchased a cheap gloss black one and will have it painted body-color before I install it.

Go yellow and make it look like Ronald McDonald.

Jokes aside, you need to deal with the chrome wheels first.

jbc1995fb

C'mon man. I agree but let's not open that can of worms in this thread. We all know how it will turn out. LMAO.

If you change out the chrome wheels the chrome GS badge has to go also.

Very cool. I love me some orange Corvettes. All my vehicles are white (I know boring), but had I picked something else it would have been orange.

Sorry OP for talking about other people's car in your thread....

Jabcat, you have to look at the whole enchilada, lol You have a partial black hood, mirrors, black wheels, black decals on the doors, blacked out side markers, after market black headlights, tail lights, black license plate, the word Calloway. So you can't say nothing is black on the back end of the car, lol. You have black on every panel / corner except the upper rear deck. Anyway, in my opinion, a black or carbon fiber ZR1 Extreme type spoiler would look awesome.
