Re: Spoiler and Diffuser
Quite an undertaking by GS977 with very nice results! Does anyone have a photo of how if ultimately turned out - after he lowered the height of the spoiler?

Re: Spoiler and Diffuser
Thanks, Jeff. I agree with the general consensus on the Corvette Forum that this is one of - if not the - nicest rears I've seen on a C4. For me, it really deals with that one aspect of styling that GM could have improved on with this otherwise timeless body. I will be following up on options for the wider ZR-1 rear, with possibly a slightly lower profile than GS' final, excellent product. Thanks for alerting us to this, guys!

Re: Spoiler and Diffuser
Good timing, David. I had discussions with American Hydrocarbon earlier this week; they have the rights to produce the Italian-made unit that appears on the copper car on 1st pg of this thread. They are not interested in producing either a wider ZR-1 version of that unit or a taller, "unnotched center" version (I am not particularly fond of the notch in the center, so I inquired). I've done a search for an "off-the-shelf" product similar to what GS977 did, but I've not found anything close. The GTO spoiler is somewhat similar but personally, I prefer the look of the spoiler "sitting on top of the rear (bumper cover)" to the "wrap around the quarter panel" look.
I was about to make enquiries to custom fab shops to determine the art of the possible - perhaps a group buy might be in order if we could agree on specs. I did a real rough mock up with cardboard last weekend, and I believe a tastefully-designed (taste being personal) rear spoiler is the one thing one can do to enhance the lines on the later C4s; it seems to address that short look that, in some peoples' eyes, gives the rear of the Cs 5 and 6 a more attractive stance when viewed directly from behind. I'll post any updates here. In the meantime, any and all leads would be welcome. |

That is not from Callaway it looks like an Aero wing right from the madvet catalog. I would need a full rear pic to be 100% certain however

Re: Spoiler and Diffuser
We should inquire with Brett. I know he could create a masterpiece for our cars.
