Default Not wanting to be a GS/Z06 poser but...
I have a Z51 Stingray. I really just want a more aggressive rear spolier such as the ACS wickerbill conversion kit. It looks like a slightly less aggressive Z06 wickerbill. I'm not trying to turn a Stingray into a Z06 but is that what Z06/GS owners will think when they see my car? Not trying to be a poser...

As a GS owner, you wouldn't be a poser. You would just be making "your" car unique to your liking. Now if you would put GS or Z06 badging on it, then you would be posing.

As long as you don't badge or mark your car as a GS/Z06 when it isn't, you're not a poser in my book.

I say go for it. Being a poser would be adding Z06 badges.

I put a Z06 spoiler on my Stingray because I like the look. Couldn't care less what others think.

ACS wickers on my Z51. Nice, but no poser! 👍
I’m thinking about getting the ACS ZR1 hood, but that doesn’t make me a poser! It’s just nice!

Who gives a rip what someone else thinks? Remember the saying...opinions are like a##holes...everyone has them, and that doesn't make their opinion worth anything or valid.

I actually wished I hadn't had it on my Z06. It looked cool but I thought it really cut down (the already limited) visibility. Like others said, it's your car, if others judge it's their problem not yours.

Do what you want to do - I would not consider it to be posing for anything.

Do what you want to do to your car. So long as you aren't a danger to yourself or others, anything is fair game.
