That's not going to fit right on a Z51. It will hang over the edges some as the Z06 is wider than the Stingray/Z51.

It will be a little wider but it will still look good. It won’t be very noticeable. Get it..


Oh I now see what you want to accomplish. Yes many have added Wickerbills to Z51 spoilers. I did it. It had minor issues. Best to have a body shop do it. I saw one in NY. He had a body shop install it ant it was perfect. It will look awesome

I'd have to do some digging for part numbers, but these were GM supplied accessories

Default I’ve already received it

It just doesn’t seem to line up very well near the center spoiler brake light I know I can make it work just nervous about drilling holes and messing up

Before you buy, I would highly suggest you check the Transactions Feedback Section (https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-feedback-153/) on the vendor.

Default I had actually considered it

but it cuts a couple miles per gallon and while that's not a Vette owner's primary consideration (our other car is a Prius) it doesn't seem worth it
for what is an item there pretty well for looks alone. I have the stock Z51 spoiler; looks good...

And I did just the opposite,put a body color OE Z51 spoiler on a 19 Grand Sport. Black level 1 item hanging up down the cellar. Its a bolt on, all studs line up with the holes perfectly.
