Default C7 GS Question

Hi Folks,

I am considering moving from my C6Z to a C7 GS.
I really don't care for large rear spoiler on the GS.
Can a smaller spoiler be fitted in the same mounting holes without messing with the fibreglass.

I like to spoiler on the white car, not the black.

You can change the winglets on the black car to those on the white car easily. The are held on only with tape and screws. The smaller ones are the standard pieces, the larger are what is called stage 2 or stage 3 pieces. They come stock in the carbon flash black color.

OK, are the tall corner pieces separate pieces added to the regular spoiler, can the just be removed to reveal the lower spoiler.

On a GS or Z06 you have the base spoiler then the “corner pieces “ or winglets are attached to the back of the spoiler. You can have either the tall or short ones.

The spoiler on the white car looks like it has the Stage 1 package on it - smaller height for the winglets.

The white car looks flatter than the silver car in the above pic.
More laid back than flipped up,

That's an easy fix swap with someone that wants the taller winglets. It would cost only shipping to each other.

I believe the "Stage one" spoiler is standard on the C7 GS
