Most definitely. And I will enjoy every minute, hour, month, and year of ownership of the high wing and the Corvette under it.

WHile im glad the option exists i will not have a high wing on my c8 z51 fe4.

i personally prefer a more sleek look than racy high wing dealer installed option.

my favorite is no spoiler at all but to get z51 you automatically get the low wing and front splitter.

Unless you feel like munching on a regret sandwich, steer clear of that hideous mess.

I would like to see it in person before making a judgment. Sometimes things look very different in the picture than what the actual real life is. Actually the car looks really nice without a rear spoiler.

I'm going to have to see it in person. I was all for it until I saw those recent pictures, leaning towards the Z51 spoiler now.

I'm really not a fan of any of the options for a spoiler, but wanted the Z51. I'd prefer a lip spoiler similar to the C7s.

I liked it till we saw the pictures with it on the car then I actually changed my mind, it didn't look good imo...

I know it is functional, but the look is too much for a daily driver for me.

I am waitin on the Z so it is probably moot but if I was buying today I think the high wing cleans the C8 look up and as it has more downforce but less drag then the Z51 spoiler it should also be functional I would be a High Wing buyer:

I've been back and forth on this for a while, and think I've realized what I really like - the high wing on a black car. The others, I prefer the Z51 wing.
