Default Thinking about a new spoiler for My Little Blue Vette....What do you think?
Lots of discussion lately concerning spoilers for Corvettes. Thought I'd try my hand at it as I'm trying to provide maximum downforce around those racetrack corners for higher speeds. Saw this on a C5 and wondered how it might look/work on my C7...

Opinions please.

Don't be silly.

*Everyone* knows that a big spoiler won't work unless you add "TYPE R" badges.

Except for the color, I think it looks GREAT!

It would be a tough toss-up between yours or one I found in town where I live some time ago.

Once you iron out a few minor mounting issues it should be fine.

You're gonna need a mighty large front splitter to balance out that much downforce.

Perhaps this guy would consider parting with his...it's already color-matched and everything:



Plus...his friend parked beside him in blue and silver can help you with any exhaust concerns.

I can tell you are "board" and not thinking this thru. Made out of "Iron" and way too heavy for a C7.

Good pic, nice to have a laugh in the morning.

Any design flaws should be very easy to iron out.
