Can someone please check there wicker bill. At the highest setting mine is flush with the rest of the wing. I thought it would go higher than that. Are others like this?

The max height is flush with the sides, correct.

I haven't installed mine yet, but that is how it is when it is on.

Well boo. But thank you all for the input. Looks like a mod might be in my future.

Another thing, did anyone get the white car cover like the stingray owners did?

My guess is the production shorter unit is the one embossed with Z06 while the pre-production taller unit was the one with Z07. Maybe it will be available as an optional Z07 accessory.

woulda been nice had they mentioned it was being changed... as long as aero diff between the one on cars and the bigger one we will never know, probably minimal i guess

I could be wrong but I don't think the clear plastic is smaller I think the black parts on the sides are taller.

I think it was probably done to provide aerodynamic balance. I recall Tadge saying there was room for owners to drill more holes if they go more extreme.

we need you master photo skills to post a side by side shot of pre production rears and delivered z's

is there any kind of width estimator in photoshop also if both pics from similar distances?

Don't worry. Once I get my car tomorrow I'll quickly be known as the annoying guy who posts all those damn pictures.

I can definitely do a comparison to the blue vert at the NYIAS.

Best,

I agree with your statement, sides are taller.

I'd be a bit cautious about installing a taller one, aftermarket unit, before I knew how much force was being applied to the attachment points and how much stress they're designed to sustain (I'm sure someone has those figures somewhere).

There's a lot of stress on that rear wing at speed (even moderate freeway speeds).
