I’m very happy with the look the low profile spoiler Chevy sells for the Non-Z51 Stingray gives to the rear end of the car. Plus it was a piece of cake to install.



Had a 2021 SFM/Adrenaline Red coupe before I got my 2024 HTC in Arctic White just wanted a change and love the HTC. Great color scheme for an Ohio Buckeye fan.

Well that’s the thing, I don’t know what the actual differences are.
The carbon flash one from Extreme Online store is $130.00
The GM version is about $500.00
Pretty big price difference so if it’s close to being the same all around, I would go for the less expensive version.

Thanks! I think the HRE Flowforms provide a lot of bang for the buck when it comes to styling and durability. This is my second set. My ZL1 has the FF04 in the same finish. Obviously, I’m a big fan of the wheels.

Z51 / no E60: 9.8
Z51 with E60: 11.1
Z06 / no E60: 9.2
Z06 with E60: 11.1
C6 ZR1 (stock): 8.8 I throw this in for reference as on my steep driveway, I had to completely remove the front splitter to get the car in/out. My C8 Stingray with front splitter would just barely scrape without raising with front lift, and completely cleared when raised. My Z06 also clears when raised with front lift (although it's closer so I haven't tried without raising).
This is great info!!! I was a little concerned about clearance when ordering my base C8 without front lift, but I took the chance. My car should be here in a few weeks. I used to own a C6 ZR1 and never had any problems, so now I’m confident I did the right thing and saved the money I would’ve spent on the front lift. Thanks, @EvanZR1

Glad I could help, and yes, if you're C6 ZR1 didn't have any issues, any C8 (including Z06) will not have issues.

Do you they offer any color other than RED? Red Mist compares greatly with C7's DSOM!! The only color I would choose when buying a car..even daily drivers. I Have RED MIST it on my 24' C8 Z51! and absolutely love it ..even more in the bright sun!

Same reason I got mine.

The stripes over the rear spoiler makes it stand out, looks fabulous IMO.

Hello,

I'm closing on a 2024 C8 HTC non-Z51, and it does not have a spoiler. I want to add a spoiler, but I'm concerned about having to remove the bumper to complete the installation. This spoiler doesn't require removing the bumper?

…then you may want the GM Accessory spoiler. No holes to drill and no removing the rear bumper to install…the GM Accessory spoiler and the low rise spoiler are NOT the same spoiler…it seems like some are referring to them as the same thing in this thread and they’re not. You have to look closely, but the GM Accessory spoiler has the “dip” in the middle (like a baby base Z06 spoiler) and the ends are completely different as well.
