Default Whatever you do; DON'T BREAK IT

Was contemplating going from OEM high wing to OEM low wing, but after seeing the price, I don't think so. Little wing lowest price on the internet $3,999.00 still need attachment kit.

I would be more worried about breaking the front bill I doubt it is any less!

For anyone that's had a C7 before I think the front will be ok for the most. Shoes slip and physical things happen, you can't help that, but just general driving I don't think too many will hit the front. Especially with the front cameras. I use mine daily.

Think again. Hit things in road, the possibilities are endless and many front spoilers incur damage. One reason I liked carbon flash on my Z. Fixable vs the carbon fiber.

Yea, but Carbon Fiber is the bomb! Carbon Flash is just black metallic.

Tried to cover it with logo decal but no luck. $2500.00 to replace from dealer, rear ZTK IS $6,000.00! Looking to touch it up for now who knows if worse will happen?
Can’t explain this one!

Shop the online sites like GM Parts Direct and about 20 others. Prices vary by as much as 50% off depending on the GM parts dealer. The low wing is about 6 grand, but offered as low as 4 by some. If I continue my search, maybe even lower.

Why not buy it then? Could only help resale, having 2 wings. I'm sure it's pocket change for you guys!
