Wing Spoiler

Does anyone have a really clear picture of the C7 with the wing spoiler?. I am not talking about the spoiler that is standard with the Z51 package, but the rarely seen "wing" spoiler...

Below is the best shot I could find. I am hoping for something more clear...

Thanks...

Thats actually a pretty good picture. I kind of like that spoiler. I wonder if we will see this on the Z models or if it's a GM option for the base non Z51 model.

From what I understand right now, it is for the Non Z51 car and yes, I think it looks a lot better then the Z51 spoiler. That's why I am hoping there are some more photos out there...

Anyone know if it can replace the Z51 spoiler? This would be my 1st mod if possible!

the z51 bolts all the way across, so you will still have holes..the wing is nice...I like it better - here's the cost break out:

add $100 shipping or so and $150-200 to get it painted...

Z51 is so much better. It's a simple lip that follows the lines of the body. This thing is gross.

To me, it looks pretty non-functional with an angle of attack close to zero.

X2, looks like it was taken off of a teenagers import racer. But hey, to each his own when it comes to accessories for a car.

It's dainty. Like a shopping cart handle. Probably about as functional too.

And it makes the third taillight spoiler, which is a jarring afterthought on the base cars anyways, look like a pagoda.

Without it, the base spoiler looks like a pouting child anyways, but don't make it worse.

Meh. It's not that bad... looks okay in body color. Could be better, could be worst. At least it's genuine GM fwiw.

I kinda like it, I'd take it if it actually functioned.

It reminds me of a rice racer. Wings that don't do anything at all.

If GM puts them on a car I'm sure it has been aero tested and functional. So lets not start up any of this make believe bull $hit....OK!
