Default pics of c5r wing

Anyone have pics of a c5r wing on their vette? I was thinking of putting one on my 03 vette.

Do whatever you want and whatever will make you happy with your car but unfortunately you will not find too many of us that will have anything to do or know anything about putting a wing on a Corvette.

Good luck!

LOL, I have actually seen one with a wing on it. I almost pulled the guy over and beat the crap out him. Well I would't of gone that far but it looked like total horse crap. Also seen a vette pulling a trailer before too!!!! He actually had a trailer hitch on the car, never seen that before either.

....Well....in i have seen alot of shitty wings on vettes, and I agree with you all. However, any of you with coil overs or a really hard spring, and drive your cars at speed, high speed accel, will understand why some cars should have wings. My car has come off the ground at speeds over 140mph, at wot. Nothing crazy but, a little on the nuts side. Nuts. I said right away, I could use a spoiler. On flat surfaces its fine but, any divits, bumps, pebbles, my car sounds like a power boat when it comes outta the water and the revs shoot up right away.

I will by the front winglets, and see if that helps but, my issue seems to be more in the rear then it does in the front.

I was at an autocross a year ago, and I did see a small, long hung carbon fiber spoiler on a yellow Z06. I gotta say, I don't like spoilers typically on vettes but, that one was very classy.

To each his own,....however, 98% of the wings out there look like crap.
