High Wing Owners?

[BillA]

I am curious about the High Wing and would like some input b4 I add to my order. Anyone that already has it on their car......would you do it again? Does it not interfere with your engine access trying to reach over it at the rear?
Thanks for the input.
Bill

I read they are not available for factory orders right now

I like mine.

Doesn't interfere with access as you wouldn't ever really try to get to the engine bay over the trunk. You will always come in from the side, spoiler or not. Realistically, it's a cosmetic thing...if you like it, get it.

There are no constraints on it.

Love the look of mine, would do it again. Looked for after-market, but the GM one was about the same price and dealer will install. No interference to the engine bay, but does make getting into the trunk a liitle more tricky, but I rarely do that and am never putting anything that heavy back there that it is a problem lifting it in and out.

I also have the GM high wing spoiler on mine and it hasn't impeded access to the trunk. I have found it to be easy to sling golf clubs up and over the wing when I need to put them into the trunk.

If you opt for the Z51, I would suggest to keep the Z51 wing and then buy from GM the high wing. Same price. Always the option to go back or sell it.

I love my high wing and would do it again. For me it sets the car off nicely. It doesn't interfere with the rear camera at all. Load the trunk isn't a problem either.

 

[Murray20c8]

I think it depends on a lot of things. I don't have a wing at all and I have trouble lifting awkward heavy things in and out of the trunk without rubbing my torso against the car. I use my C8 as often as I can to get gas or propane etc. or my hockey bag.

Got it - love it. Is is sometimes a pain in the ass putting items in and out of the trunk. Would I get it again - absolutely!
For me, I love how the high wing looks on the vehicle.

Looks fantastic on the red mist with the black accents. Nice build.

Likewise I have the factory high wing, love the looks, glad I did it. Mine is HTC, so access to the engine is a different process, but no issues putting stuff in the trunk, just be careful, Someone a few months back suggested putting PPE on it to help protect it. I put PPE on the front clip and side skirts, but the installer didnt think it was needed on the wing, so I didn't do it. Love the look! (and it makes it go faster!)

I put PPF over my whole car including the wing. It will definitely help not getting scuff marks and scratches. Worth the money I think.

I did put ceramic on the whole car incl wheels, but not PPF (by the way i see i said PPE not PPF before - think covid has infected my vocabulary )

Well they both protect something. LOL. I also did ceramic coating on top of the film, and the wheels and callipers and the interior of my car. A bit over protective. Ha ha.

I would do it again. No complaints, I'm tall and have long arms and can reach over /into carefully.

I also cant recall putting anything into the trunk... I use the frunk the most - beer, groceries..)

...if you were on the older side and like to cart around heavy items or golf clubs...it could put some strain on your back.

I really like the high wing, it gives the car an aggressive look. it goes well with the rear difffuser,

I don't find it to be a problem reaching over top to put things in the trunk. The only thing that goes in there is the roof, on sunny days! lol

Not any more

 

[Jeffer2013]

did not put mine on
wife and me are short and we want to try it for a year without wing
also it looks neat without any wing or spoiler as it is different and exotic
coppers like to stop old kids with wings on as they think we are the racing crowd, I don’t need that at my young age

looks really nice in the showroom and on the street

just thought I would try it without for a year
