Default Disapointing build quaility.....OR?

Its like that for a reason...???

I stopped by to take a look at some C7s that were recently delivered.

I am not big fan of the add on spoiler, and noticed you can see light through one side where it looks like it should be securely and uniformly bonded. The other end is at an angle. Looks pretty poor to me, but i realize its only a $60,000 car.

OR..is like that for a reason? The other C7s there didnt have the same gap.

It's been stated that the gap is there for a reason. Where did you see a C7 without a gap

Do you know what the reason is?

There were 5 on display, this one was the only one that it was clearly visible on.

Aerodynamics of some sort. I think there was a similar thread a few months back on it.

if the gap is not uniform all the way across, it's a bad install.....

All of the cars on the showroom floor at Kerbeck are Z51's. They come with the spoiler from the factory, it is not a dealer installed item.
That appears to be the 1LT LB car.
