Default Spoiler

Was the small OEM spoiler an option on the C7 base cars? In other words, are there base cars w/o a spoiler?

There are plenty of base cars without a spoiler. I had a 16 Stingray A8 that did not have a spoiler, I added a rear spoiler after I bought it. If you look on Vroom, Carvana, Carmax and the many other sights that have cars for sale, there are many C7 Corvette's that do not have a rear spoiler. There are numerous threads on the Forum about adding the rear spoiler to the car, you have two options, 3M bonding tape installation or remove the rear facia and do the factory bolt on design.

Nope. It was on every base, non-Z51 and non-FE2 optioned Stingray. (Not real sure about the FE2 option, but, my base Stingray has the Z51 spoiler as part of the FE2 option.)

My 2016 Stingray didn't have a spoiler. Base model. I added one myself.

This is my base 2019 Stingray...that's the way they came if you didn't order any of the other spoiler options.

Thanks, I should have been more clear with my question as I was wondering what brand it is as it doesn't look like a GM version of the Wicker Bill, but I've been wrong before.

Likely aftermarket. I don’t recall it being factory shipped from GM, but I could be wrong. My window sticker says nothing about my Z51 spoiler factory installed. Probably because it's part of the upgrades my base Stingray got. Everything except the non-Brembo brake package screams Z51. 'Cept it isn't. Which is exactly what I wanted. Did not want the performance enhancements of the Z51. Just the look of the Z51. wheels/spoiler.

rfh928 said it all. As one wag once said when asked what a spoiler actually spoils, he replied, "The looks of the car."

But Corvette Mods, have had issues with customers is my understanding. I never did, but others have. And.............I only paid $250 for that spoiler. More expensive now. I used 3M adhesive tape and you can't move it with the jaws of death!

Technically the high mounted stop light is a spoiler but not a full length spoiler. Same with the C6.

I removed the OEM base small spoiler and replaced it with a Wing Tech Z51 spoiler. I have the OEM spoiler in Laguna blue for sale in the C7 parts for sale forum.

Mine came with the Z51 spoiler as part of the ZF1 package which is a Z51 appearance package without the actual Z51.
