Default Best "Z06" spoiler for Stingray?

C7 Carbon

APR Track spoiler V2

Other?

EDIT - I'm looking for options that fit the narrower Stingray and won't stick out over the ends.

I like the OEM "Stage 1" Z06 spoiler the best. Stage 2-3 are a bit much IMO if you don't have a widebody.

How's the quality on that piece? Is the spoiler and wicker-bills all ABS plastic? Does it flex at all?

This hangs over the sides on a base car. It is not sized for a Stingray, says so in the FAQs. Also you can get it on Ebay for a lot less... exact same part, same listing pics too!

I'm specifically looking for a Z06 stage-2 spoiler sized for a base Stingray.

Let us know what you find. I was looking at the pictures and didn't notice it hung over on the sides.

Call me boring but I just like stage 1 spoiler on the Z06 as the stage 2,3 are just to busy for my taste. You can only imagine my feelings about the new ZR1'S wings.

Stage 1 Z06 spoiler

I am setting the car up for trackdays. I used to race and will be instructing with this car. I like the aggressive look of the stage 2 OEM. Unfortunately the OEM parts stick out the sides of the narrower base Stingray.

APR seems like the best part on the market. Designed specifically to have the OEM look on the base car. I just don't need fancy carbon fiber. I just want functionality. Looking for a $500 part vs. $1200

To clarify my early post about my car picture being on corvettemods website - the spoiler image has been photoshoped or altered to show up as if the spoiler has actually been painted to match the body. While it is indeed impossible for most viewers to tell, I am 100% certain the image has been altered.since it is my car and I took the original picture with my cell phone. Ask joemesssman since he has posted the altered picture here before and might know more. Here are both pictures, the top pic is original and the bottom pic is the doctored up one the on the corvettemods website. (cute how they watermarked it)..

Just out of curiosity, how much did you get paid for use of your photo, or did they just give you discounts or something?

I didn't know the history of the picture. It is just the one they use to visualize the spoiler. I like that spoiler myself. And am seriously considering the Carbon Flash version of it. I'm kind of between a rock and hard place though and may forego the purchase because I am probably going to buy a Z06 next year. About 90 percent sure. Was going to buy the ZR1, but I would have to get used to the front end. I never buy a car that I have to get used to. Liked everything I saw on the Z06. Not fond of side skirts and splitters, but don't have to have them on the car if I don't want to. I want that HP.

I received nothing, nor to I expect any monetary compensation. The first I even knew that corvettemods was using it was when Joe linked it in this thread, although I have seen the altered picture posted HERE on the forum several months ago and thought it was a member playing around with photoshop and was soliciting opinions from others here. I originally posted the unaltered picture in one of the "What is a stage 2 spoiler?" threads.

I myself do like the concept of a body colored matching spoiler, but would prefer it was offered from the factory. Anyways, my point here is that anyone shopping for the body colored stage 2 spoiler from corvettemods should know that the picture is NOT of one that has actually been painted and rather is an altered photo. It doesn't bother me that someone is using a picture that I took and I posted online, but I do think it is fair for me to point out that the image has been altered. In fairness, the finished product from CMs may very well be a perfect match once seen in person. I've bought from CMs back in my C6 days without issue when they were a forum vendor. They are no longer a forum vendor as I type.
