Default High wing spoiler in the wild - PHOTOS

Are these the first photos of the high wing spoiler in the wild?

(via Jason O on the C8 Facebook Page)

No “M” plate either...

Z51 spoiler looks much better

I think I’m changing my build to high wing... another reason I’m ok with Accelerate Yellow being on constraint until November, I can still change things up!

I just wish they would show an actual Accelerate Yellow car! What’s the delay if they weren’t going to put it on the C8.R or Convertible reveal? 🙄

Looks awesome front/side...from the back...not so much. Of course the Golden Butthole being in the picture does not help

I was just driving down there on the way to the tile store. Probably one of the first fleet cars from production.

Okay, I’m going to be the dissenter here, but I’m not feeling the high wing. I know lots of people like it, and that’s okay! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I agree. I always thought it looked tacky on the configurator. Seeing it in the photo like that...I think so even more. I much prefer the Z51 wing, but to each their own.

I agree... I’d personally pass because of that. The back of the car needs as much help as it can get and I don’t think the high wing helps in that regard.

Yes, finally someone spotted it!! I have the high wing ordered, looks good, but I wish it was more like the C7 ZR1 wing. Thinking if I should stick with the Z51 wing and wait for aftermarket wings to come out, or go with the high wing.

The high wing kind of shows the stripes go around the back end more, but I’m still undecided! Black wing (Z51 or High) and black mirrors look good, but I also like the stripe going over the wing in the body color one.

Hmmmmm. Not feeling it in those pics at all. The 4 mounting points are brutal.

OK, every one has their opinion about the spoilers, either high or low.
But, to me,the car looks much better without the spoilers. Way sleeker, proper GT car.

The fact it is running with a "standard" Michigan registration plate doesn't mean it is registered to someone. GM and the other manufacturers in Michigan have plenty standard issue registration plates. That plate belongs to GM. My question is what vehicle is following the C8 and taking the photograph. That's quite the hood on that vehicle. Hmmmm.

Looks terrible directly from behind. Like someone put a table on the rear deck.

I’m sure it looks gorgeous in person, just not the most flattering angle and image quality.

bet you front the side and front it looks hot.

be patient (:
