Default Opinions on this spoiler

Ok....I know everyone on here is going to make fun of me about this one....I bought a new spoiler for my Z51... I got it yesterday...I ordered it because a fellow Z owner said he bought this one and it fits right over the existing factory spoiler, no drilling just tapes on...well it don't....I do not want to remove my factory spoiler to put this on so...I can mount it on top of the existing spoiler, you can laugh now, or sell it... I am positive no one else has ever and never will mount it like this but what the hell, I roll different then other people...

Let's here all the comments about what a stupid *** I am now and whatever...give it to me...I can take it,,,ha

I cant remember which one I got in C.F. but I did pull my factory one off . It was a small PITA to get a few of the nuts off the under side. But if that one fits over the one and you cant tell it at all go for it man.

The spoiler is fine but your garage is upside down!

Taking the rear off the vehicle is pretty easy. I agree if you're going to do it do it right. The new one will line right up.

That thing has some serious downforce. I thought only F1 cars could run upside down.

Funny how it really is not possible to judge how it looks with the photos all upside down.

By the way, you don't HAVE to attach all spoilers with bolts, just the ones you want to keep!

I loved spoilers on all my cars except for the C7. IMO, it ruins the entire look and contour of that beautiful back end.

If I was to get a spoiler I would go with this style.
