Im not a big fan of huge rear spoilers but if you like it, thats all that counts my friend. You have received plenty of feedback and some are very blunt from what I read but that's expected with this sort of mod or with any mod if you think about it.

Hang in there brotha, you own a corvette and life doesnt get any better than that...with a wing or without one

Thanks. My stripes are from www.vettestripes.com. The ones I have are the CE2 stripes. VetteStripes is a supporting forum vendor and a lot of people here have gotten stripes and such from them.

Here's some larger photos of mine for ya:

Every person that see's that car other than the ricers with even worse wings are going to say "God, vette drivers are such douchebags" all because of this car.

Boy you seem so very angry..
Wouldnt want to be around if someone runs your dog over or cuts you off....you may go postal!!
Im sure your probably singlehandily responsible for most of the road rage incidents in your community!

The forum is OUR community whether you agree with my decisions or not. I respect your right to voice your opinion and you respect mine. Next time a simple " I hate the wing" will be enough..

Ah! but the point is that he did ask our opinions. He's got his flame suit on so I'm guessing he's okay.

Wonder if the flame suit has mods too?

Not necessarily my cup of tea but must say very unique.

Obviously you seem to know something about aerodynamics based on what you posted. Have you done anything for the front of the car?

What's the deal with the end plates? How come you did not keep them straight?

Also, agree you are brave to post this on the forum. Lots of opinionated people out there.

Beautiful car PostShawn. Did you ever consider a blackout kit for front rear and side lights? I think it would work.


oh.....and a wing too!!!!!

I hate the wing as I've stated in an earlier post but I give the cat some credit, he's taken all the feedback the few good and the many negative ones and accepted the comments and opinions with mature civility.

End plates may come off and a flat much smaller plate may go on..I think thats why so many hate it..
I have addition pieces made and need to finish mocking them up to determine if they will work..
Oh well...That means more pictures..!

Not keeping my trap shut, as the OP asked for opinions and knew what he was getting himself into. I don't like the wing, on a Corvette or any car for that matter. As a standalone piece it just doesn't look good. There are plenty of other better looking wings out there that would absolutely the same thing as this abomination. Plus, Corvettes are designed with enough more than enough downforce than you will ever need, or use WITHOUT a spoiler. Plus the fact that there are NO other supporting mods, it just looks terrible and makes it stands out just that much more.

I personally don't care what he does with his car. Nothing wrong with a track-only car. However, just finish the look, add some splitters or a front lip spoiler, side skirts, remove some weight etc. Just having a regular looking C5 with a "HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT ME!!!" spoiler is just a joke. It's absolutely the same thing we poke fun at the ricer crowd for. Personally, I make my statements a little over the top just to keep things interesting and see how many people like you get offended LMAO.

Alex,

He does have other mods did you miss them?

Limo Tint, ZO6 Screens, Blacked out Wheels, Depo Lights, Painted Calipers, Looks like rear fender flairs in one picture too

I don't like the spoiler on your car but it looks very well made and expensive. I would love to have it in my room on the wall for art or something. The cobra r somehow pulls off a similar spoiler but just haven't seen a corvette spoiler that I like and that makes a real difference looks wise besides the tigershark rear bumper.

You are a cool guy for working so hard and thinking so hard on your vette, and to take all the crap rude people have put out there without considering your feelings or anything else. I'd still take the spoiler off or at least lower it significantly and put on the new side pieces. A slight lowering of your car would look nice too.If you decide to leave the spoiler as is you'll need to get 600-800hp to make up for it and then people will be quiet
