Default Center Wickerbill

Hey guys,

Looking to buy the smoked center wickerbill for my 2015 Z06 (previous owner lost it). Has anyone bought one that isn’t GM (with the accompanying bloated price)? If so, how’s the quality, did it include the longer bolts and do you have a link for it?


Thanks,

Les

I had one but took it off after I cracked it. My fault for re-tightening a bolt too tight after removal.

Quality of wickerbill was fine IMO. It was the light tint. The grommets (that go into the area surrounding the bolts) were not that great, but serviceable. For $159 delivered, very acceptable product.

The bolts from GM are outrageously priced. I got mine from eBay, where they're listed for about $25 for 4 by searching C7 WICKERBILL BOLTS. Not an exact match to OEM, but serviceable.

There are older threads covering both questions.

Have you ever seen a center wickerbill in Carbon flash?

I think you would have to paint it yourself. It is clear because of rear view mirror vision safety.

Mine came from here:

https://performancecorvettes.com/pro...b1a10fa1&_ss=r

Actually, I purchased it through Amazon, but it is listed as out of stock right now (on Amazon).

Performance Corvettes were good to work with, though. The first one they sent had a small scratch in it. They had me send it back, and they replaced it with a perfect one. No hassles!

I believe that ACS is selling the OEM version w/the hardware. I purchased mine from them a couple years ago.

With regards to a CF version, it would obstruct rear visibility too much IMO, particularly in the fully elevated position.

I have the ACS full stage 3 aero, including wickerbill. I don't have any issues with it, quality seems great. Not sure about the bolts as I live about 3 hours from their home base so I drove down to purchase and had them do free installation. Link below for just the wickerbill, they have a separate package that includes the winglets if your car didn't come with stage 2.
