Please tell me someone hacked that site. I would rather bolt a toaster to the trunk lid of my car than to put the first "spoiler" on.

The first one looks like the handlebar on a shopping cart.

Did someone at GM turn the bean counters loose in the spoiler design department?

In the first picture that is probably just the adjustable wickerbill part of the Z06 spoiler.

Thus why the same part#.

Looks to me like their computer programming is having touble rendering the proper spoiliers. First one is the moveable wikerbill on Z06 and the second one is a mashup of Z06 stage 2 and raised wing spoiler. Nothing out of the norm for the renders. lol

The second spoiler looks very good. The first one is pathetic.

It looks like from the below site that you only get the two Wicker Bill pieces that must be mounted to your OEM High Wing Spoiler? Or do you get it all?

I just called CorvettesMods from my above post to have them clarify what you are purchasing. They say you only get the two Wicker Bill pieces that are then mounted to your OEM High Wing Spoiler.
