Default Stage 3 center Wickerbill. Is it available in carbon flash?

I have stage 2 rear spoiler on my GS. I'm considering going stage 3 but I do not want the see through polycarbonate version. I would like a carbon flash piece that matches the rest of the spoiler. Yes I know it would hinder visibility out of the rear view mirror and I don't care.

My search has come up empty. Does this even exist?

Maybe have it wrapped in a carbon flash material?

Needs to be clear so you can see thru it.

It only comes clear, so buy one and finish it as you see fit.

I was pretty sure GM did not offer one, but was hoping there was an aftermarket piece. Prolly doesn't exist either.

I haven't seen a wickerbill in carbon flash, but you can buy a "smoke" one off of eBay. I bought the light tint version from there. Only $159 compared to the $400 - $500 that GM wants. The only noticeable difference is that it doesn't have the embossed C7 crossed flags or Z06 logos. They also come with the 4 rubber grommets.

Thank you for this post. This is something I was going to ask because I am planning my Z06 purchase later this year. I want to get the best bang for the bucks I can.

It is my understanding that Stage 3 isn't offered on the GS because it causes too much drag. I have Stage 2 on my GS and it seems fine for my needs.
