Default Rear Fascia

Thinking about a new rear fascia for my ZO6. I know about the Tiger Shark and have seen many pics of it. Have heard about the Specter GTR but haven't seen pics. Could someone post pics of the Specter Rear fascia? Thanks.
Oh, and if you know of other rear fascias, please post pics of them along with the manufacturer's name. Thanks.

The SW is fiberglass and rigid, so I do not think the above unit with the C5 "saggy butt syndrome" is an SW piece...the spoiler looks right but could have been molded on by a shop or individual that does good work

IMO, the top piece definetely does not look like it

Nemesis - I love how your C5 looks and really want to do the SW on my car but have heard nightmare stories of fittment issues.

I have a great body shop that does top notch work but they are expensive and I just want to make sure it doesn't end up being a lot more involved that what we were planning on...

Just got mine painted and put on and I couldn't be happier. It looks like it belongs on the car. It fit great with very little work needed. There was one small crack in it when I got it, but it was easily fixed and nothing major at all. It is an excellent quality part and you won't be disappointed. If you want pics of anything specific on the tail let me know.




Here is the small crack...


Test fitting...

I agree... there was no sagging with my SW tail at all. Like Nemesis said, the SW is fiberglass and very rigid unlike the factory piece. I don't know what the top one is, but I don't think it is SW.

Cool - and yes, I'm going to need pics of the tail on the chick golfer in your avatar

But on a serious note how hard was it to get them to fix the crack in the fiberglass? (maybe it's real easy - just checking though).

The top piece is an OEM bumper cover. The reason it's sagging is because it's hanging on the stand. It was a BRAND NEW cover out of the box.

Once installed, it would have set correctly.

Unfortunately, once old, it would have sagged...
