Base Corvette's don't come with a spoiler. You can order it with the Z-51 type spoiler from the factory, or have your dealer install it.

Or you can order it with the "Wing" spoiler.

Base doesn’t come with a spoiler, but it does have an integrated 3rd tail light that is a pseudo mini spoiler.

No spoiler on a base and this is what you will have.

My 14 base 3LT before and after. First pic was from the local dealer I bought it from and the second is from Macmulkin after trading it there

When ordered on a new car it's a dealer installed option. At least is was in 2016.

Imho, no spoiler is the best of the bunch and you sure don't need one on domestic highways.

The Z51 spoiler can be ordered in black or body color

Imho the base spoiler flows best with the design lines of the back. The optional spoiler's straight line across the entire back ruins the design flow for me.

Seems as though the bigger the spoiler is the more dust you get on the rear of the car.

My 2015 base convert got very little dust.

My 2017 GS convert gets quite dirty with the stage 1 winglets.

I installed stage 2 winglets and it got worse. So now I have a pair of stage 2 in stock and will have to put up with the dust from stage 1.

That's why I think that Walt's wing would be the best option..

That is kinda the whole purpose of the "spoiler".
Changes the air flow to create down force on the rear of the car.

At the speeds I travel the "spoiler" is non functional so it becomes strictly decorative.
