If your side mirrors are white, so should your rear spoiler be.

I thought I was going to be the only one saying this.

You could get CF mirrors and black wheels and then the CF spoiler would really POP!

Overdone?

To say it's overdone is ridiculous. Realistically how many artic white c7 vettes with a CF spoiler is going to be in this guys neighborhood? CF looks great on white and I disagree on the side mirrors cause the zo6 has white side mirrors and a black spoiler

Carbon flash and it will look ok with white mirrors, but consider painting your mirrors also.

I do get a lot of comments on that plate. Actually, the explanation is pretty simple. I am a polygraph examiner for the government....

Now. Here is my dilemma. Do I order it in white to match the body or in carbon flash.

I love CF on the right color. With your mirrors being white, I'd stick with white.

On a separate note, why would you deal with a vendor that you already know has had issues with some products they sell? Are you a glutten for punishment?

I like the idea of a darker rear spoiler with body colored side mirrors. That's how the C7 Z06s are outfitted and I like this look...

Get it from GM, it fits. Why take a chance with any aftermarket part when you can get the correct part from GM?

Like some have mentioned, dark spoiler regardless of mirror color is the Z06 look. I would go with CF.

Have you also considered the ZR51 rear spoiler from Showstopper? It can mount using factory hardware if you have a Z51 equipped Stingray or using double-sided tape if you don't have the Z51 option and don't want to drill.

As mentioned earlier, I like it because it mimics the style of the Z06 rear spoiler. They will also pre-paint it for you either body color or Carbon Flash (or any other GM color). This is one I'm leaning towards as I want to mirror the Z06 look where the side mirrors are body colored (Crystal Red).

Z06 Style:
