Default Z06 Spoiler Question

Did all C7 Z06 models come with a black or carbon flash rear spoiler, and then Stage 1, 2, or 3 wicker bills bolted on? It seems to be the case for every example I have seen.

Is this true also for Grand Sport?

Would a body color blade spoiler only be correct for Stingray Z51 or ZF1 option?

I've seen body color blade spoilers on Stingrays with bolt on wicker bills, and my impression is that it is aftermarket for owners looking for the Z06 "style" or look.

I'm not judging anyone who wants the up-level style (I have Z06 reproduction wheels on my Stingray), I just want to know what is OEM correct.

Yes - all Z06's came with the black spoiler - There is no Stage 0, so there is always some version of slats bolted on.
Stage 1 is the rear spoiler with the smaller slats bolted on
Stage 2 is the rear spoiler with the larger slats bolted on
Stage 3 is the stage 2 with the added center wicker bill.

That makes sense; I think of the Grand Sport as a widebody Z51, and Z51 gets the body color spoiler.

I've read all the threads on Stage 1, 2, & 3 aero options. I was just hung up on why all Z06s have black rear spoilers.

I'm assuming for the same reason all Z's had carbon flash rear quarter panel scoops . . . Just a styling thing. My GS has body colored rear spoiler and rear quarter scoops which I really like.

They have new vehicle wraps that actually look exactly like carbon fiber. Id look into this before replacing any parts. In my experience things get scratched etc when they replace parts. Always a risk. With a wrap u can literally watch them wrap it. Small wrap takes maybe 30 minutes to wrap and they will let it bake on. Less risky and less expensive

Body color spoiler is an option or at least it was in 2025 when i bought mine. I have the dark yellow like the c7s were and spoiler matches body color.
