Is that one actually available for the ZR-1 body? That one looks like it has extensions that go forward across the tops of the quarters like the older "whale tales".

Here's AAFC's rear:

A necessary evil on a full race car. But "fuggly" in just about any other application, especially for a street driven car. (Can we say "RICER"?)

JMO...

The descriptions says yes, part AWF280. I would absolutely confirm that before ordering.

I'm generally not a fan of an additional wing. The ZR-1 rear bumper already has a "lip" on the upper edge that is not only form but actually functions creating downforce. That is why the ZR-1 is more stable at high speeds than many other cars. I would really need to know that the additional one works much much better, to take function over form.

define "tacky" - If you like it, go for it.

In this case "spoiler " is just that....
Sorry but an honest opinion.

I'm with Paul on this. I've never seen a spoiler on any C4 that I liked. But I generally do not like spoilers. There are a few OEM exceptions, however. The Supra, F Body (Ram Air T/A), Porsche 911 Whale Tail, F40 and of course the '68 Daytona. But except for maybe the T/A these were absolute necessary extensions of these insanely fast cars. The Z has proven itself to be quite stable at any speed you choose so the function is not there. As far as the form...I've really grown to like that big a$$ but I really don't want to make it any bigger by adding more body work.
