I had it done to mine 2 weeks ago. In the sunlight, the car is almost blinding! It's beautiful. And after the past week of constant big rains here in Texas, the car still looks the same. Everything just beads off and nothing seems to stick. Well worth the money, in my view.

I saw a few of these at MacMulkin in their showroom and all I can say is these things in person look very menacing in a good way. Totally badass with the nostrils and the BAW. As always personal preference but I would go ZTW after seeing them in person. No question or hesitation.

Pics of lowered wing. With top up, the wing is out of view. With top down, you can see it, but it does not obstruct view of what is behind in a substantial way. Z06 has more obstruction than this does. I believe Ben @ Weapon X set his 1/4 mile speed record with these brackets installed.

It’s not the daily driver. Car on left gets pulled out when the beast decides to stretch its legs.

I saw the BAW in person for first time at spring mountain last week, it looks absolutely awesome and a must have option IMO.

No regrets by me at all. Had a 2015 Z06, and 2016 Z06 and this car shows a lot of positive improvements. Power, Transmission (A8), and Ride have all improved. As far as the High Wing: Don't even know it's there until it starts working it's magic. Car is planted to the road.

I think that if I were ordering a ZR1, I'd have regrets about ordering the LOW WING!
