I am thinking of painting a 91 Metallic Dark Red....do you think this would look sharp or no? Just the Rear Spoiler only. Honest Opinions Please...........

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.

That wing was made by 49th Street. I had one like it on my 90 ZR-1 for awhile.

I've never understood the hate for aero mods but to each his own,I guess. Some are obviously too garish for my tastes but a few look pretty good,IMO. I really like the Shinoda ducktail and here's one on a C5 I like.

IMO The C4 is such a clean design, really nice lines, without all the overwrought styling that so many companies spit out. It's very cohesive on its own, and is compact, solid, all-of-a-piece. Most add-ons look just like that - added on. I don't like them because anything tacked on just disrupts the design's solidity. The only update I personally like is the Lingenfelter aerobody which is beautifully done and maintains that solidity while adding some aggression...but even that one looks a little heavy from the side and is best in black.

Reminds me of the wings on the firebirds in the 80s. Your car do as you wish AL. I however dont like it

Boy,that cars got alot goin on.

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.
