I wish the high-wing used just 2 stanchions for mounting - using all 4 just seems a bit "off"

I like the looks of the high wing at every angle but from the back. Because of that and the fact that it makes it hard to use the trunk I opted for the smaller spoiler.

Pretty car! Is that round thingy on the roof optional equipment?
I prefer the smaller spoiler but to each his own.

Needs to fill the same holes used for the low spoiler, I guess.

It’s the TracVision cable tv dome that comes with the CB radio package.

Prefer it to the Z51 spoiler & no spoiler. Hope the aftermarket comes out with better looking side skirts.

If it had two in the middle it would look pretty good. 4 Just looks like its an afterthought.

The ZL1 1LE looks great with 3. The C8 needs 4 in order to spread out the force that the spoiler exerts on the bumper. If that spoiler was mounted by just two points, it’d pushed down on the bumper too hard.

There’s a rumor about the C8 Z06 having a far more aggressive spoiler with more downforce that the ZR1 ZTK, but with just two mounts. That spoiler would have to be chassis-mounted.

They need to fix that wing and make it with two center supports. The four looks to JC Whitney to me.
