Neither but if I had to choose it would be the lower. The car is just too elegant for the boy racer look IMO.

High wing all day. The backend of the Corvette needs "something" and the low profile spoilers don't change the look enough. The high wing is noticeable, yet tasteful. My AO was ordered with it.

I prefer no wing or low spoiler. I had a white c8 without a wing and just got AO with the low spoiler.

i'm waiting for a low spoiler on my order. This one looks more pronounced-which is a good thing-from the pictures i have seen before. This picture makes it quite noticeable, but though i thought it added some dimension to the back, i thought it was a bit too minimal. If it looks as obvious as this, i will be quite pleased.

I kinda like all of the wings, but I think some look better on different cars. For example, a silver, white, or orange car with black or carbon ground effects and sporty wheels with a high wing looks great, definitely super car-ish. On the flip side, a red mist tint or a dark grey car is more classy than sporty, so a low spoiler looks better on those. And then in the middle, I plan to get the Z51 wing on my red mist car once my allocation comes up, even though I just said I like the low spoiler on that color. But in the end, it’s great that we have choices, and each of us will have his/her own opinion.

And after you decide on which wing/spoiler you still aren't done, have to decide on body color or carbon flash.

Low or no wing. The tall wing does not form fit the body style to me at all. I am sure it is designed for performance but to me it Fails in asthethics.

pretty much this. I thought the low wing suited the styling of the car the best. That’s the one I ordered.

the other wings look like they belong in a Camaro.

z06 wing is promising as a “high” option.

Love at first sight for GM high wing w/ the 5VM aero. First white C8 I saw sold me on the look and the color.



z51 looks meh and low spoiler looks like “why did you even bother getting a spoiler” compared to stock.

They all look great gentlemen and of course it's individual preference in the end. As for a survey, yup good idea, If someone wants to post one great.

I’m hoping the aftermarket comes out with the Z06 style high wing before I have to submit my C8 Stingray order. If not differently I’m going with the current high wing.
