My Z06 is being built this week. I'm thinking of getting the smoked wickerbill. Any thoughts about this as I've heard that with the wickerbill installed, it's very difficult to see out the back. I think it looks better but is vision going to be a big problem. Thanks

I read you lose 3 miles per gallon also....

It's not hard to see out the back with wickerbill installed.

But yes, I did get 2mpg higher with it removed.

No problem seeing at all... I also took mine off for DD...

Holy hell 3mpg you lose with just the wickerbill?!

It's no trouble to see through at all.

I have the stock stage 1 spoiler on mine but love the look of a stage 2 or 3 spoiler. However I drive from the Bay Area to Los Angeles once a month. And to be honest I love the 25 mpg that I'm getting and don't want to sacrifice it to 22 mpg just for a looks of the stage 2 or 3 spoiler.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah I can see through mine just fine. Literally no issues at all whether it is raining or if it is at night it's like it isn't even there. However, this 3mpg thing has me thinking...

I thought this was a made up word...

This is true. Just crazy that the wicker bill would make that big of a difference.

I just went and picked up my car this past weekend after the new bits and pieces added , cam , fuel and so on . Car is near as damn it 1000 crank HP ( 862 rwhp) , without the wickerbill but with front spats , car averaged 11.6l per 100 kms or , just over 20 mpg . The trip was about 800 kms ( 500 miles ) . All in all , pretty good for such a powerful car , average speed was 113 kms per hr or just over 70 mph

It isn't as easy to see through as air. Depending on the way the sun reflects off it you may only see glare. I can get around the track fast but there are faster drivers and I have had them come up behind me and not see them coming until they are right on top of me. The best thing to do is to remove it and save some gas as well. The other thing to do is to lower it using the 4 adjustment screws. Lowering takes it mostly out of your direct sight line to the rear. When driving in the rain at night the thing makes rear vision miserable. After I lowered the wicker I was able to see much better.

I get laughs when guys talk about gas milage om our cars.i bought a 90K 650 hp car to go fast and have fun.i could not care less about gas mileage and if you do something is wrong with your way of thinking about our cars.i tried once when I first got the car to see the best gas mileage I could get on a trip.i have a pic cruise on at 72 for last 50 miles it got 29 mpg.never looked at gas milage again.i have the tinted wickerbill and no problem seeing through it.

Same here, I have no problem seeing thru my Stage 3 wicker, and I'm not a bit concerned what fuel mileage my ZO6 gets, in my opinion 20+ mpg for a 650hp car is pretty awesome.

No problem seeing out the back window on my car either....and it just looks so much better with that piece on.

Why do you want to remove the wickerbill? I can see very well through it, just adjust it lower if necessary but its aggressive look is part of the car's personality

Zidane

Same here! Do you need to do anything when you take it off or do you just remove the screws and pull it off? Do you fill the holes w/ anything?

Is this what I need to convert my stock stage 1 to a stage 2/3?
