Default Let's see your Stage 3 rear spoiler Wickerbills

I recently upgraded my 2018 Arctic White GS front splitter to stage 3 and now would like to upgrade the rear spoiler as well. It appears that the Stage 3 Center Wicker Bill/Bridge comes in a light or dark smoke transparent plastic. For those that have added this, or ordered it this way from the factory, can you do me a solid and post pics of your car with it? I'd like to get a feel for how both look and their transparency levels before I pull the trigger on this upgrade. Would be perfect to see these on an Arctic White C7 , but not required.

Thanks in advance for everyones help on this.

The lighter tinted Wicker is the one you want. The darker one will washout the fact that it's transparent at all, and simply look like one slab across the rear, especially on a white car.

Light tint (aftermarket). Lighting is not that great. Looks a little darker than it really is. I can see through it in the rear view mirror.

If u get one and it doesn’t come with bolts, and ur allergic to paying $20 each for GM ones, come back to this thread. I ordered all new bolts (10) from Pro Bolt for what GM wants for 1

Thanks guys, much appreciated! I'm going with the light tinted center wicker. All parts ordered, including the long bolts. I'll come back and post pics here after installation.

I think it makes it harder to see out the back so, no I did not buy it.

Ok, I finally got all the parts and had a chance to install my Stage 3 rear spoiler upgrade. I made a mistake, trying to save money, and purchased what was supposed to be the OEM Winglets from a vendor that gets mixed reviews here. My bad, should have known better. So, after receiving them and realizing they were not OEM and the color didn't match, I had to deal with returning them...this process still not 100% settled.

I moved on to purchasing from another GM parts vender - Cultrag, whom I've purchased before with excellent results. So in the end I went with the OEM Winglets and the non-OEM light transparent wicker bill. Very happy with the results. Thanks again guys for your previous help.
