From the description posted on the ACS spoiler, it does extend about an inch or so past the edge of the quarter panels. I do not know if the one in this pic is an ACS spoiler, OEM spoiler or some other brand, but it was on a base car that was for sale on a dealer’s lot. I thought it looked pretty good on the car and did not really notice that it was slightly wider than the car at the time.
The spoiler the OP posted is simply wider than it should be, Wide Body or not.
The only difference with a Wide body Rear Bumper Fascia, is the slight Flare on the sides to blend with the Flared Rear quarter panels.
The width measured at the top Pointy Corner of the Rear Bumper Fascia, side to side to side, is the same on all C7 models.
You are mistaken. The width of the widebody rear fascia is wider, top edge to edge. You can see this in my pic of my OEM Z06 spoiler mounted on my Stingray, where it slightly overhangs the sharp fender edge (not much, perhaps an inch each side), where the same Z06 spoiler on a widebody meets the top endcap edge almost exactly.

You perhaps are thinking of the C6 where the rear endcap was the same, widebody or not?

I have the OEM Z06 spoiler on my Stingray, but with the short, standard Stage 1 wickers, and I think it looks fine -- much better than the car in the OP.
The good thing is people sell the Stage 1 wickers for cheap (or even free) as a lot of Z06 owners unbolt them and upgrade them to Stage 2 wickers.
Kent - Did you have a factory Z51 style spoiler on your car prior to installing the OEM Z06 spoiler on your car? If so, did the mounting holes match up between the two spoilers? I have the Z51 spoiler on my car and would want something that I do not have to drill new holes for mounting.

Yes, my car was outfitted with the Z51 spoiler from the factory. All Z51 mounting holes matched up exactly with the OEM Z06 spoiler mounting studs. I had to do absolutely no drilling... unbolt Z51 spoiler, drop in Z06 spoiler. You do have to remove the rear fascia to bolt it on, which is kinda tedious. But other than that, it was a straight swap.
Pic I took during the install to show the original Z51 bolt hole placement:
The one thing that I wish I had that I don't is the Z51 (zf1) package. Discussions like this although interesting initially in the end are like salt in the wound... But, I suppose if I had it I'd wish I had something else - human instinct or maybe just mere jackass...
I was curious to see the numbers of how many 2015 Convertibles didn't opt for the Z51 (zf1) and I was surprised to see that only 948 opted for it.
As to the wing, I don't think it looks the best on any car other than the black where I actually think it looks excellent. I'm guessing because of the color similarities. Important to note that I don't think it looks bad in the sense that I would have noticed anything abnormal if not specifically asked. But, I get it - if I didn't overthink so much I'd have a lot more money to spend which means more toys.

I contacted EOS and they told me that their spoilers are one size fit all, meaning it will extend out on the stingray. That's really too bad. That begs the question. I so far saw from MMD that PFYC offers the right length for the stingray. I'm sure people have been here long enough to have discussed this topic in detail before. Surely, there are more vendors that offer a similar product??
My Z51 came with this on it....wish I knew the brand, however, It fits the way I feel it should. I wouldn't keep it if it had that 'overhang' like shown in the OP's pics.
