Default Rear spoiler photo thread

I'm trying to figure out what rear spoiler to go with. I have the factory GS one.

Please post a photo of your car's rear spoiler, what type it is and where you got it from.

Thanks.

So to recap, there's 5 spoilers that have been posted.

OEM "shorty" (see post#1,
OEM "Full width" or "GM Racing spoiler" (see post#5,9,14,17,18,35,36,40)
OEM "ZR1" spoiler (see post #7,21,44)
ZR1 extended spoiler (see post #4,15,16,22, 23,37,41)
C6.R style carbon fiber wing from APR (see post#6)
Supervettes spoiler GT6R (post #103, #118, 146)
C7 style wicker bill for C6 (see post #159, #185)

Are there any others?

Hope you can see the difference:

The White Car is a 427 CE and uses the ZR1 type spoiler. The Silver Car has the GM Racing spoiler.

Started with the "Ron Fellows" full width painted to match spoiler and then moved on to a C6.R style carbon fiber wing from APR to support track days. It helps deflect criticism if you have an Edelbrock e-Force blower and a dyno tune under the hood

The GM racing spoiler is the same as the GM full length, just different terminlogy correct?

Yes... Its is usually referred to as "full width spoiler." It is even or straight along the top unlike the ZR1 spoiler that dips in the middle.

Hey Huskerman or 08C6, if you have another angle, can you post it? Maybe one about the same angle as the first image in post #7 from Z06pete? I am interested in the GM full width spoiler that you guys have but I'd like to see another angle which shows how deep vs tall it is. In image 3 from BWF07 it seems to be more vertical than deep. I currently have the 39 LED stock width 3rd brake light and am contemplating switching to a full width version but do not like the ones that dip down in the middle. The other thing is, I like the larger light on mine and would really love the option of a full width spoiler that holds it height all the way across and also incorporates the 39 LEDs.

I took a photos of this spoiler at a recent car show. I think people refer to it as the ZR1 extended or extreme.

I like it but I don't want carbon fiber. The owner said it was from Katech.
