I'd go with black if it was my car.

Depends on other accents. Mine is all red with black accents, so I went black.

My car is black so my wing is black. The black on red breaks up all that red and makes whole car look better. That's just my way of looking at it.

FWIW: black, but you really can't go wrong with a Corvette like that.

I voted black because I have Red Mist with carbon flash on the exterior components. But I have the standard Z51 wing. I can say that the low wing is right there in plain sight when I use the regular rearview mirror and not the mirror camera. A high wing is going to really get in your line of sight...I think. That was my experience with a Porsche GT3. I do think the high wing looks cool but I stayed with the standard.

It's funny, and you wouldn't think it would be this way, but the red one is actually a little bit cheaper than the carbon flash black one.
I'd probably go black were it me though.

The spoiler should contrast the car. Since its Torch red and you have carbon flash accents, I would lean towards black.

I went with red on my torch red C8. I feel that red looks like it’s part of the vehicle. The black posts accent the red wing. Black to me reminds me of an aftermarket accessory
added on.

Black is more pronounced in my opinion. These are just opinions and only your choice matters. Best of luck with your decision!

I agree with Rdoria. I think the black makes it look aftermarket. My vote is Red, of course I’m biased

I would go with the black. Mine is identical to the Chevrolet wing and uses all of the same mounting locations but it is made totally of carbon fiber and costs less than the Chevrolet plastic wing.

I am not a fan oft the high wing, but Red with Black supports looks busy, it would be black if I had to choose.
