Default C7 Wing question

Hey guys,

I have a question I am hoping the community can help me out with. I just bought a c7 Z51 convertible. I wanted to purchase this wing:

https://extremeonlinestore.com/colle...iler-high-wing but I find the brackets too high. So I contact weaponX who sells a low bracket set, apparently that low bracket set only works with https://weaponxmotorsports.com/produ...14359640932401 and he also said the one I want for $1299 is too cheap and will break off. The one he sells is way too much for me. I Just want it for looks. I am NOT a speed guy. Has anyone purchased the wing from EOS? Is it any good? I find it too tall. Is there another one in the $1500 price range? Thanks guys.

Some of the guys here have that wing. He is definitely trying to sell you his product over EOS, can't blame him. From what I've read here the consensus is those with the EOS like it, one of them I'm sure with jump in to give you better feedback though.
You can probably search EOS ZR1 wing to get answer your looking for.

I watched an install video on that wing. The super-structure that gets installed under the rear facia is ridiculous. No way that wing is going anywhere.
I'm saving my pennies to get the whole body kit including that wing for my own recent purchase.

Do you know if you use lower pedestals the wing would be right in your way of viewing out the rear?

The high wing is right out of view, it was designed by GM for the Zr1.

I would not want that big *** wing right in my view, it is already stupid hard to see out of this car.

The high wing is perfect if you are wanting that aggressive look, like I do.

I didn't know the lower brackets would interfere with the view. I thought the lower one would work better for that. Thanks for your reply. So you're saying you like it? Which product did you get? the one from EOS for like $1300 US or something? I assume it comes with everything you need. Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated!

I have read the EOS wing flutters a little bit at interstate speeds.
