Has anyone installed a rear spoiler or a rear wing on a Z06

Here are a couple of pictures of the Spectre Werks rear fascia. They don't show it too well, but they're the best I have right now. You can also click on the link in my sig for additional pictures.

Yes.

I have a rear deck lip spoiler from GM Racing. I can take a shot of it if someone can host the pic for a day or two. It does look good to me and assists with high speed rear control.

If there's a taker for hosting I'll shoot a pic or two.

Paul,

Shoot those pictures on over to me and I will host them for you.

I'll shoot a few after work. I think my Nikon has a flash.. least it should.

Thanks bro!

Here's two shots of the GM Racing spoiler on my FRC:

It's a "cap" spoiler held in place with double sided body tape from 3M.

That looks awesome 1fast!

Where did you find it at? I'd be interested in learning a little more about it.

Thanks... the pics are much appreciated!

CorvetteSS. I like it better with the stripes continued over the spoiler. Definately a FiveStar car.Whats not too like?

1fastdog · 12-03-2001, 09:49 PM

Thnks!

Bear in mind that it's a racing piece and as such is not "perfect".

Ask to speak with Kerry Hitt.

I don't think this is in the racing RPO book any longer at a dealer.

World Challenge is now a wing deal with tons of downforce.

I think Eklers makes one too. There stuff usually fits very good. Also held on by double-sided tape.

Thanks. I agree that it's a 5 star car. But I need some new pictures. Maybe that will be my weekend project since my fiance has to work all weekend.

1fastdog,
Can you snap another picture or two of that spoiler in the light???

I am curious about how obvious the lines are where it was attached - since you said it is held on with tape. In the pictures it appears to look similar to corvettess' spoiler. I didn't see the line of attachment at all.

Sure, I'll do that for ya. It looks like what the SS'vette has with most likely good reason. I wouldn't be surprised if the racing spoiler shape was blended in by Spectre to make it a one piece affair.

With better pix you should definately see what's up with the racing spoiler. It isn't as built in looking at all, but it is in keeping with the car's shape and does work well.

1fastdog · 12-05-2001, 08:11 AM

I took a couple of detail shots this morning of the spoiler prior to leaving for work. With Franks assistance, I'll try to get them posted this evening.
