In for pics as well. I like the ZR1 carbon fiber low rear wing and always that it would look great on the Z06.

You would be correct sir!

It looked great on the ZR1(see above)! Had to put the ZR1 back to its ZTK stock state for sale.

Decided to put the low wing on the Z06 as the rear spoiler is really more of an “air brake” than a pure downforce device!

You'll need the entire bracket, located behind the rear bumper, assembly from Chevy. They are individual parts with separate part numbers. I am sorry I do not have the part numbers. Since yours is a 2016, you'll be drilling holes in the steel bumper and probably relocating the radio antennas. You might contact Weapon X, I bet they would either sell you what you need or may be able to assist with part numbers so you can purchase direct yourself (they offer a complete install kit (stock GM parts) with their version of the ZR1 wing). You will also be cutting holes in your rear bumper cover (obviously).

Here is a pic I took of the bracket assembly behind the rear bumper when I installed it on my '19Z.

I would say the low wing does look better than this high one.to my eye. I haven't seen too many out in the wild though... post some pics when it's done.

I love that wing and have been looking for one for a while, they aren't easy to come by. I still can't believe that all of these vendors who make high wings haven't come out with a low wing option.

I had the same discussion with Ben at Weapon X a while back!
