I like the ass of my car with a spoiler, but I dont like it body colored. Looks pretty wide to me. Also doesnt look like an afterthought to me as the rear fascia has indentations for the spoiler to sit and integrate nicely onto it. To each his own though!

Therefore even on the spoiler-less C7... form still follows function. ^^^ Same as what Glen and I posted... I have seen it termed as high rise blade spoiler but Body Color Wing Spoiler is the GM name. RPO SB3 and $730 retail on the GM price schedule. |

The standard spoiler IS a true spoiler. The width is about the same as the bottom of the rear window where air is coming off the roof. The tops of the rear fenders have air coming along the sides. The Z51 spoiler is tacked onto the standard spoiler, and thus looks "tacky".

Having the option to add the Z51 spoiler to a non-Z51 car would be a good personalization choice from the factory. I actually love the look of the small spoiler. And as noted above, there is supposedly a functional aerodynamic benefit to it, as well as holding the CHMSL.

Are we forgetting the function of the spoiler?? The original on my C7 Z51 is to hold the ass end down as the wind / air exits the hood, over the tunnel over the roof, down the rear to the spoiler. Does/would this be effective on this type of spoiler that doesn't trap the wind/air? I guess if you have a base model it doesn't matter much. I go for performance over looks, and trust the engineers who spent 5 plus years on the research.

The next Gen needs a retractable spoiler that is functional and has the ability to deploy on demand or at a personally preferred speed...just my thoughts here
