C8 HIGH WING SPOILER

[OttawaKev]

I like them. On the C7 the car came with a cheap plastic guard that just barely protected the panels edge and offered no protection to the face of the panel. I bought the ACS aftermarket ones in Carbon Flash and they look good and match the carbon flash on the car.

Maybe I will wait to see what ACS comes up with as from what I have learned on here they are the GO-TO aftermarket guys

Splash guards...what do you think?

parts department $176.86 + HST > junk

Joseph indicated they have 2 C8's on early delivery so dont think we will have to wait long to see what they offer. I didn't order the guards from GM for this reason

I actually read an article yesterday pointing to the fact that the wing is $425 for canadian orders. I've called and asked my dealer about this. so it seems the original poster of this may be absolutely correct.

Sounds like a good thing to do is to wait for the ACS aftermarket ones and everyone on here seems to really like ACS for Corvette stuff....or do you think for the 145$ its good to get them on right away before I driver her out of the place I am going to get her wrapped ?

For $145 it's a good deal and they don't take away from the looks, plus rock chip protection. I added them because I needed to with my 5ZZ high wing.

Question for EJ Chevy. Can you add rear back up camera to a LT1 build?

 

[Rruuff Day]

All new vehicles since May 2018 are regulated to have back up assist rear camera. The LT1 C8 is no exception.

 

[moepig777]

thank you

 

[Sparro]

Yes, Rruuff Day is correct. The backup cameras are now mandated by law. The rearview mirror camera however is not available on 1LT.

Okay back to the HWS....any thoughts to how especially with coupe owners this will be a pain in the butt as the HWS it attached behind the trunk access?

Cheers,

Kevin

I dont k ow for certain, but I assume it will have same mounting points as the standard wing no?

Check out this video and you will see what I am getting at as this shows the smaller spoiler and the HWS attaches in the same spots.

HWS POSSIBLE TRUNK ISSUE FOR COUPE TOP or ACCESS

gotcha. that does seem like a problem. wonder if GM has some sort of notice on this

 

[3blurays]

probably less of a problem the taller you are.

I hope that in the build at the dealer it would come up as a warning, much like when you choose a light coloured interior where it says it may need more care and create a possible glare in some instances.
