Deleting rear spoiler on Z51 models?
I prefer the look of the car without the rear spoiler but would like to have the Z51 package.
Any guesses how difficult it will be to remove the rear spoiler but still maintain the clean OEM look of the rear?
Thanks

rear fascia removal required...mounting holes remain

I'm also for the spoiler delete but I'd rather keep it instead of removing the rear fascia if that's the case
And dealing with finding a way to plug the holes.

Sure would like a Spoiler Delete Option for the Z51 Package....I'm not worried about downforce as I don't track my car but I want the Z51 goodies! Give us an option delete Chevrolet!!!

High Wing looks better on it. IMO, i would buy the High Wing and sell the Z51 spoiler.

It seems like about 90% of us hated the Z51 spoiler when we saw it on the mules. Thus far, I haven't seen the same level of angst since it's been uncovered. I agree a delete option would be nice. The clean decklid looks nice, and the high wing does as well, though I'd have concerns about utilizing the cargo space in the back with it, since the Corvette is my airport car also.

I think they said there was 400 pounds of downforce with the Z51 package. Not sure if that is all the rear spoiler or a combo of the front splitter and rear spoiler.

Is the eLSD available without the Z51 package? How about the taller rear diff gearing?
If not, I can see how some would want the Z51 package without tracking the car. They might also like to look of the larger brakes, even is not needed on the street or strip.
