I gotta agree with that. You never see these cheap, boy racer, tacked on pieces of crap on the high-end performance cars that the C7 can legitimately compete with. It's the one thing that really cheapens the car and holds back the evolution of the brand. I don't know why GM can't get past this. Is it really that difficult to design an integrated spoiler such as Aston Martin or Ferrari or a deployable one such as Jaguar and Porsche? These ludicrous things belong on a Camaro or a Mustang, not a modern Corvette.

Thanks for the pics! You have a stunning car and when I order mine it may indeed be a clone of yours.....wheels and all! I've had several sets of Cray wheels (made by TSW) on my C6's and they are excellent wheels.

1. ghosted/darkened (but not blocked) flags
2. carbon flash corvette letters
3. perfectly painted tail light bezels in body color w/clear coat
4. exhaust plate around pipes...
5. simple flat black anodized plate frame - no lettering
overall a very clean but modded look...

thanks - I also have had TSW's and the Nurbs are really popular in black with the camaro guys...But I am particularly proud of how the rear of my car came out:
1. ghosted/darkened (but not blocked) flags
2. carbon flash corvette letters
3. perfectly painted tail light bezels in body color w/clear coat
4. exhaust plate around pipes...

Gotta love having the choice to suit various personal taste, hey?

Don't know what it is, but all the aftermarket wheels I've seen so far, including the HREs look cheap on the car..... Perhaps missing concavity or deep lip look on the wide body C6s???
