Default Just installed my 6.5 Wickerbill Spoiler!

Just got it installed and wow, the quality is top notch! My only gripe is that I had to go to Home Depot to install some weather stripping on the bottom of the spoiler. Not sure if it's a placebo effect but at speed the car feels more stable. Definitely would recommend.

Looks great! Nice job. I don't think it is a placebo effect you are experiencing. I notice a difference on my C7Z when I put the center wicker in, or move it up higher.

Agree, I don't think it placebo either. First time I took my car out after the Katech spoiler was added the difference in the rear end was very noticeable. Raised my confidence in the car.

Man those things are huge! Imo it looks like it wasnt meant for your car.
do they make a z06 sticker for it since u have a z06? They dont even look good on the actual cars they come on.
but if you like it thats alllll that matters. To each his own.

I saw one in person the other day. I didn't like it when looking at pictures but in person, it looks a lot better.

Looks like his car has the Z07 package also. What's the point of your post.

Not a placebo effect. I just read it was created by a professional racer, Andretti, I think, who didn't endorse it primarily to keep it quiet, it worked so good. I'm putting it on my black, black, black C6 too. Cheers, KG

I've got an extended wickerbill on my C6 GS and I could feel a difference in the handling of the car, it's not your imagination.

That's effin' beautiful!!! Makes me want one too! (.....except I really like the look of the carbon fiber spoiler on my car that matches the front splitter and side skirts).

I've always felt the rear spoilers on Corvettes have almost been an afterthought with the designers. The pitiful stock spoilers have very little impact on the looks for what are striking looking cars. I was glad to see actual wings on the C7. I looked for weeks looking for a spoiler that I felt accented the look of my GS and then found this, which I think is perfect for the look I was after.

Wow, that looks hideous on a C6. Completely out of place.
