Default Rear Wing

Im curious is the rear wing possible to remove without damage?
I like the look of the of the brake light small wing,like on the normal c7.
I do not own yet,i will probably wait it out until the
rush goes away.
And then grab one at a nice discount.

Too be honest these big wings i would say are for the track for downforce.
I wish they had a choice as you said

Is the rear spoiler dealer-installed as part of the prep?
Are there factory pre-drilled holes in the body for mounting the rear spoiler?

All three levels of aero effects use the same basic spoiler, which is mounted at the factory. The size of the panels and end plates bolted and taped to it vary.

I too much prefer the base Stingray brake light spoiler.

So one has to remove the basic factory installed spoiler base and have a body shop patch the holes and re-spray the rear bumper, right?

I wonder if the brake light spoiler will be there once the base spoiler is removed or is that whole part has to be ordered as well?
