Default C7 Carbon ZR1 spoiler

Nothing but good to say about C7 Carbon, shipping info was supplied, parts came quicker than led on by there website & the fit & finish is great. Only true complaint was the lack of no template to drill holes, but in the end I'm sure there's some manufacturing variances so it's probably better to fit & template on your vehicle.

I personally don't like the look of the C6 spoiler design on a C5 but it looks like a quality piece.

That looks really good on the car - just wish you didn't have to drill holes into the car to mount it. Would rather use double sided tape.

You can use double sided tape, it doesn't have studs but threaded inserts and then bolts to hold it in. The bottom is smooth and double sided tape could be easily applied & fastened with it.

I mean you no disrespect but is that spoiler designed for a C7 or a C5? the reason I ask is the fit looks pretty poor to me.. I can see light coming from under the spoiler on the left side on this photo.. the left side does not align with the natural curve of the C5 Fascia.

None takem Evil but this is made specifically for the C5. I do not see any daylight between the spoiler and fascia and it follows the fascia profile perfect. Must be light reflection you are seeing.

Didn't mean to start a fitment issue with this spoiler and crowd up the OP's thread Maybe its the way the picture was taken. I removed it to have the car.painted and put back on. I will get a better pic of the fitment. I love the spoiler. Thought it fit pretty good. No double sided tape was used. Maybe that would help. If its still not fitting to precision I will summon the acient aliens to assisr me.

I was just pointing out what I saw... it might be an alignment issue. If the spoiler was not put on perfectly straight, the reflection of the upper fascia lip could make it appear as if its a gap... because the spoiler does have some wiggle room, the spoiler might just not be perfectly placed. The picture I posted does seem to show some flaws either in the part itself or the application, following the exact line of the existing fascia..

If people can not see what I see in the two circled areas, IM guessing then I am loosing my eye sight.
