Friend missed the high wing spoiler on his 23 on constraint, wants a carbon flash finish. I've searched the threads and haven't found the decisive favorite. Good fit, finish, looking for recommendations. Thanks

C7 Carbon has some great products. I had their high wing on my 22 and I bought their 5VM side skirts and front splitter in carbon flash for the 23 I just got and the fit and quality was great.

It appears that the OEM Carbon Flash Spoiler part # 85001066 is available on the Chevrolet web site under Corvette Accessories.

The high wing carbon flash spoiler was also on constraint when I ordered in late Jan. My dealer found a dealership in Dallas that had 3 in their parts dept and ordered one for me. I think they charged me $1175 plus shop time to install. It matches my carbon flash full length stripes perfectly. Fit and finish is perfect. Go GM accessory as stated above.

I’ve had both the GM factory high wing and the C7 Carbon high wing both in carbon flash. I have to say that I believe they are of equal quality but I will say that C7 Carbons wing has a better “mounting” design that I feel is strong than just the nuts and short bolts that GM uses. If I needed another high wing I wouldn’t hesitate to get the C7 Carbon again. But some people are just more comfortable with OEM so either way you can’t go wrong.
