Spoiler / Wing Options

My Dealer is telling me that the high wing option is not available at this time and would further delay the delivery of my C8. He is offering me the low spoiler in order to get the front splitter in a package.

since I want the High Wing and will properly add it aftermarket I'm wondering if the holes will match Of cause I want to avoid additional holes showing.

Plenty of owners remove them to put on bigger/fancier ones. I bought one for $100 from a C8 owner who removed it as soon as he bought his car. It's simple to install. All the holes are already there.

Yes I would recommend not ordering any dealer installed accessories as my car is sitting at the dealer without any LPO items as they are backordered.

Im swapping out my z51 wing for a high wing. Holes are the same for those two. I was told that they're the same for all wing options, if they are for the low it would save you having to drill the holes. And you wouldn't be wingless in the meantime.

I just bought a Stingray that's wingless. Are there any options for adding a wing without drilling holes?

Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. Does anyone have any experience with the retention of this spoiler?
