Can you post some side-by-side comparison images? At first glance, it looks like you made it really tall. I feel this would get in the way of putting things in the trunk.

I will have to snap some pics. We only made it one inch taller, the center isn't raised at all. So visibility and the ease of getting things in and out isn't effected.

Thanks Pete.

To be clear, if is possible, can the side-bye-sides be with the spoilers installed? I guess if we can find some pictures of Z51's at the same angles as yours we can just photoshop them together to see the differences.

This is currently our test fit model and should be ready for purchase in 3-4 weeks.

do you have one that covers over the entire spoiler (except the middle, which looks like its part of rear lights), or as much as possible--like, with plugs where the bolts would go for the two far sides?

Is there a reason for this gap on the C7 rear deck lid spoilers?

Even on the factory spoilers the angled part of the spoilers don't fit flush to the body as they do on the ends and middle of the spoiler... Where the deck lid drops down and curves the top angled part of the spoiler does not fit flush against the deck lid area... I noticed this ever since the first C7's were shown to the public.

The only reason I could think of is water drainage so there is not a buildup.

Any chance of getting back to back photos of each spoiler. I'm always looking to improve the look.

Very nice and most accommodating but...........I was hoping to see full car shots with two different spoilers. However I do see why people love/hate it.

I didn't think it was possible to make an uglier, more tacky looking spoiler than the Z51 version, but you've done it. Sorry....just my opinion.
